How to Open a Favorite Files Item with a Non-Default Program?

[Jerry]

Hi,
In the Favorite Files menu, is there any way to specify an alternative application (other than the Windows default) to use to open a particular file menu item? For example, for certain text or pdf files, I want to have the file opened in a different program than the default Windows-configured app.

If this is not currently possible, I think it would be a useful feature. Perhaps it can be done by specifying the app to open after the file path, separated by a delimiter when editing the item in the Manage Favorite Files dialog. It would be desirable to specify this alternative app in some way other than giving the explicit path to the app, though that should be possible too.
