`org-open-file' is too Org-specific to move out of Org. But there should be a command to do what it essentially does outside of Org -- that is, use ~/.mailcap to determine what viewer to use. So I've now added this to Emacs 28 under the name `mailcap-view-file'. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
