On MacOS it's even easier to just drag-and-drop the file onto the 
application's icon (in Finder or in the dock). That is the GUI 
equivalent to "Open With..." on the Mac. Though the "Open with..." menu 
item exists as well. But you have to do that brain-dead control click if 
you're still using that one-button-mouse... *sighs wistfully*
