You missed examples I have given:
- If directory is DVD copy, I need to open it with video player or
enter inside if it is not;
- If directory is Maildir, I wish to open it in terminal, with Mutt,
or in Emacs terminal or by using Emacs Maildir package;
- If directory is related to many other objects, I wish to open
database showing me all other objects;
Don't you play DVD directories with vlc?
