Then you'll have to reimplement your own open dialog using
gtk.FileChooserDialog, load the file using gedit.commands.* and when
it's done, do what you want on it. I think there is no way to actually
reuse the dialog we use in gedit.

But is it really needed to add your own open dialog beside the one we
provide ? couldn't you just add a handler on "tab-added" and do what's
needed if the file happens to be a markdown file ? IT would indeed look
cleaner IMHO.
