Is there a tool that permits one to attach an application to a file
created by another application (replacing the original application)?

The case in mind is to connect an application with a file that was
created with an editor.  This would make it possible to create the
source file, link it to the application, and then double click the
file to run the program, rather than click the program.  A major
advantage is that you could have many directories with the data and
only one copy of the program.

The tool should be simple to use -- reaching in with a resource editor
doesn't count.
