It's been too many years since I played with CDE (on HP-UX, even) for
me to remember how to do this, but if it helps at all, I can confirm
that it is definitely possible.  IIRC there are a very few settings
like this you can be configure interactively in the desktop app, but
for most things, especially mapping to apps that don't come with CDE
you need to dig into the config subdir in your home dir, and edit or
even create small text configuration files. Once you find the right
place you can even add several actions to appear on the context menu,
one of them being the default.

I'd google for CDE file association or something.

Alternatively just switch the entire window manager to something you
like and know how to use.
