Or....you could just use a utility like DragThing to create a
dock of all your applications so that you can drag a document
and drop it on exactly the application you want to open it in.
Gives you much more control than double-clicking.

BTW, DragThing is a million times better than the OS X dock; don't
throw it away when you get around to upgrading to X.
