There could be another action, but from FDO ML chatter, it's probably better
thought of as file.<applications> or something, as it would be based on a
collation of data from .desktop files, only partly and loosely related to
mimetype. Somebody is working on a revised library, and command, to produce
this sort of data. Who knows when it will be complete and released and widely
available.
If there were a new action, then you choose - show it or not in the context
menu, and if so, before or after file.<actions> or somewhere else, not
type-specific positioning.
