(By the way, someone should implement something like this for GNOME and KDE, too ;-) )You can do that using MIME, look at /etc/mailcap, it already contains all what you need to run appropriate process for exact MIME-type. As long as it's supported in your distribution.
Is there a command line interface for that? Or maybe a lib that's easy to wrap?If you want to query the Gnome MIME database (which is separate from /etc/mailcap) you can use 'xdg-mime'.
