One of the many wonderful things about Directory Opus is the ability to
Double Click on any file and it will be opened or viewed with the best
application for the job.

There were many times when I wanted to do this from the shell, so maybe I
could use multiview...? Okay if I just want to view a picture, read a bit
of text or play a sound, but beyond that it's pretty useless.

This is when Dopus Double Click was born allowing easy opening of any file
from the shell.

You can try c:open which is linked to Ambient's MIME system.
f.e. "c:open work:my.jpg"
