The dialog comes from gtk, upstream already stated that programs need to
provide a .desktop and it's not the filemanager/selector job to create
those. They don't plan to add that feature to gtk itself but it's easy
enough to create a such entry

Title:
cannot change "open with" option to non-standard program
Status in Nautilus:
New
Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
In Oneiric, you cannot change the program used to open a file to a
non-standard program.
I use the daily build of Libreoffice, which is loaded in the /opt/ folder.
There is no way I can get to the program from the oeneric interface other
than by calling the program up in a terminal.
This is incredibly inconvenient.
TEST CASE:
1. Launch Nautilus (Launcher -> Files)
2. Right-click on a file
3. On the contextual menu select "Open With / Other Application ..." or "Open
with other application..."
4. On the untitled dialog click on "Show other applications"
Result:
There is a list of "Recommended Applications" and "Other Applications" but no
way to select/add an application other than those being on the list.
Expected:
Ability to add an application to the list from the UI
