I think you're not very clear in what you're asking, so I'm going to try and explain what I think you said. If you open a file in a file browser, or you open it thru a web browser or something, it might have a mime type assosiated with it. So what I think you suggest is that based on the mime-type we start an application that should be able to handle that mime-type. I'm not sure if the alternatives system is the best place to "register" mime types. I'm also not sure that a Debian specific solution as the alternatives system is the best way to go. But I can see why this would be useful, and maybe it should work in combination with the alternatives system. I hope I understood your suggestion.
