I too have a similar requirement. Any luck with a good solution ? We are developing a Business Management application for Accounting/Inventory/Invoicing etc. which is capable of being integrated with a reasonably wide variety of 3rd Party document formats – like spreadsheets, and PDF, and ALSO capable of being customized by the end-user to support additional formats. While the ‘out-of-the-box’ integrations(extensions) can be listed in the manifest file for people to opt to open a particular document type using our application, if they wish to – what do we need to do to allow them to associate their own customized integrations.
