How to find which applications for this file?

 From a file path or a file extension or a MIME type, how can we get  
a list of the applications which can open the corresponding file?

The "launch document <filepath>" can open the corresponding  
application like a double-click in the Finder/Windows Explorer. But  
has anyone some tricks to get a list of compatible application for a  
file or MIME: Applescript (on MacOSX) or shell commands (MacOSX,  
Windows, Linux)?

Thanks for each appropriate reply!
