I have a complex NSDocument with lots of files. One of those files is has a 
.mfst extension. If the user double-clicks one of those files, I want my app to 
create my NSDocument subclass, and then call a method on it to read the 
contents of that file, but I don't want that to be the file it then associates 
with the document. The actual on-disk representation is a package, and can 
either copy the originally-opened file contents into the package, or reference 
that file with an alias.

At some point, the user will have to specify a location for the "real" document 
package to live. Conversely, if the user double-clicks on the real document 
package, I want that to behave as expected.

How do I set up my Document Types and handle this scenario?

Thanks.
