Select app to open a file dinamically #10

Hi, is there anyway to select the app that is going to open the file dinamically (when I find the file) or something similar? Thanks

You can use -o <program> to specify a certain program. In e.g. most Linux environments, xdg-open <file> will open the specified file using the default application for that particular file type. So you can do zzzfoo -o xdg-open. If you're using macOS, I believe the equivalent is open.

For information on how to check/set default applications from the command line, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xdg-utils (Arch wiki, but applicable to most other distributions). If you're using a desktop environment there's probably a GUI way to do the same thing.
