If I'm dragging an MP3 file (or set of MP3 files) into, e.g. Totem,
what exactly can I do with them? Regardless of where I drop them on the
window, it will play them, which only differs from "Open" in labeling.
Why should the launcher icon be any different?

i think the current behaviour is insufficient for the user, but for
the developer it is a good place to start.
"open" was an important menu item when most of the DE was all about
"opening files" or "opening folders".
Nowadays we have multimedia objects, some of them are interactive User
Interfaces.
It makes no sense to give much prominence to the "open" metaphor
anymore, since most of the actions performed on today's content are
"view", "view in fullscreen", "play", "stop", "edit", "manage",
"hold", "release", "pause" and "archive".
"Open" has no or little place in the semantics of our every day DE of
today, except when related to file&folder-like documents.
