open module does not seem to be latest.
Quoting https://www.npmjs.com/package/open
Note: The original open package was previously deprecated in favor of this package, and we got the name, so this package is now named open instead of opn. If you're upgrading from the original open package ([email protected] or lower), keep in mind that the API is different.

Feature to associate file types with external editors
in this PR, added an extension to which read User preferences "externalApplications" wher users can associate an external Applications to any file type:
sample Prefernces:
"externalApplications": {
"jpg": "default",
"doc": "notepad"
}
in this case double click on a jpg file in file tree, jpg file will be opened in its associated os default Application and ,doc file will be opened in notepad Application.
