Of course: we should depends on more things to pass this information. Collor 
can be a part of the markation.

You can set there which applications to open a file type with. IMO this is a 
very logical connection :)

I don't think your mother will do *every day* such simple change...I think she 
will be more disappointed from the times she clicks on the wrong button and 
changes here menu without knowing how to reset it and even how it changed. 
(my grandmother don't know that it's possible to change here menu in windows 
from within the menu) IMO we just don't need this feature in the menu self 
because it's too advanced for a menu used by everyone.
