Open external file in defined editor [message #247088]

Hi everyone!

I am trying to open a file that is not located in my workspace in an
editor. I managed to open the file with openEditorOnFileStore(...,...).
But the file is opened in a text based editor that is different to the one
I would like to have.
Is there a way to define the editor used as it is for the
page.openEditor(input, editorId) function? E.g. define if a .html file is
opened in an internal browser or in a text based editor?

Thanks in advance!

Christian

It takes whatever is set as default editor for that extension/content
type (see: General > Editors > File Associations)
