No.  Not in general, at least.  There are a few desktop environments
which provide such a facility, but they all do it in their own way.
".mailcap" for mime type-based defined actions is kind of a common
approach in this context but, however, don't build upon that and
foremost: don't mess around with it.  (Also: don't expect everybody
to use one those desktop systems.)
