Import Intel Hex works great, what about

I just started using this with STM32 hex files and it is working really well so far. Thank you! I also use srecord (https://srecord.sourceforge.net/) for similar, but different things.

What I would really like to be able to do is double-click on a windows .HEX file and have it "imported" so I can see the hex code, rather than read straight in leaving me staring at the Intel HEX format records. I know there are limited command line options, so, failing that, how about adding one or a few settings to Tools -> Options -> that let one configure to "Import Intel Hex" by default for the file that is normally opened literally?

I would be OK with the submenu (Motorola S-Record/Intel Hex/ETL) popping up before file read if that's easier.

Thanks for considering!

PS. When I say "double-clicking on a Windows .HEX file", this of course assumes that the PC has already been set up with HxD as the default application for .hex files. Thus I don't have to run HxD then File->Open, I can just double-click on a .HEX Intel Hex file and see the raw data.
