To solve your problem: if you want to make new clippings that will
open in BBEdit when you double-click them in the Finder, give them a
".txt" extension.
Another possible solution: BBEdit ships with a Service called “Open
File in BBEdit”. You can set a keybinding for it in the Keyboard
prefpane (I use ⌘⌥B) and use that to open _any_ file in BBEdit,
regardless of file extension or other metadata.
But also: I’ve managed to make “bare” files (no extension or other
metadata) open in BBEdit with a double-click. For example, I just used
`touch ~/Desktop/bare_file` in the Terminal to create such a file, and
then double-clicked it in the Finder; BBEdit opened.
Such files have a [Uniform Type
Identifier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Type_Identifier) of
`public.data`, and using a utility like
[RCDefaultApp](http://www.rubicode.com/Software/RCDefaultApp/) you can
set the default application for that UTI. (I’ve found that this can
sometimes succeed where using “Change All…” in the Get Info window
fails.)
Hope this helps!
