No, this is not possible. Doing it with AppleScript isn't that hard, though, if it's important to you. You can actually make it pretty seamless, by doing something like:
on open theFile set theResult to do shell script (POSIX path of theFile) tell application "Quicksilver" to display large type theResult return theResult end open and saving that as an AppleScript action (in ~/Library/Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions). I'm not entirely sure of the syntax for large type (open up QS with AppleScript editor and search its dictionary), but note that AFAIK you actually have to have QS do it, not because this is a QS action but because I don't think any other app provides that function. It's used in lots of Apple apps but at the Objective-C level, and none of them seem to expose an AppleScript API for it.
