Can XYplorer be the default program for opening zipped files?

I have XYplorer as the default file manager on my Win 11 laptop. But when I double click on zipped files, Windows explorer pops up. Is there a way to get XYplorer to be the default for zipped files also?

You can view the contents of zip files in the Preview tab and in the Preview pane. You can also unzip an archive directly from XYplorer. I don't know what you intend to do with the archive, but you may not even need to open it.

How do you do that?

Ha-ha, good one.
Now seriously.
I right-click on ZIP file, select "Open with". I have two choices:
Windows Explorer
WinZip
I then select "Choose another app" and navigate to XYplorer folder and select XYplorer.exe file and nothing happens.

You didn't bother to actually look at the help, did you?
