That would make nautilus incompatible with other file browsers. The
behaviour for Konqueror/Windows explorer is that when given a path for
a file, it tries to open the file (using some application or
displaying application chooser). So I am not sure this is a good
behaviour.

The metadata approach seems plausible. OTOH, is there some kind of
"dcop"-extensions to gnome apps (nautlitus in particular) ? That would
be a cleaner design.
