I'm not sure I understand, for what this is needed, but the
traditional way to do filetype/app-associations on Un*x-systems is to
use the mime-type-handlers defined in /etc/mailcap and $HOME/.mailcap

(I don't run Gnome or KDE and I would prefer if Pd would not open
Mozilla-Windows for all files.)

Ciao
