   They're not actually selecting the file at that point, at least not as far   
   as the common dialog is concerned. If they right-clicked and chose Select,   
   then that would be equivalent clicking Open, but not using Open With. Open   
   With is provided by Windows Explorer, and it's as invisible to the common   
   dialog as, say, copy and paste.   
      
   The bottom line is: tell your user not to do that, or at least that it's not   
   something your app supports.
