You can access that file is you right or control click an application, then select 'Show Content'. Then, open the 'Content' directory. In those XML formatted files, there is usually an entry key named 'CFBundleDocumentTypes' which is an array of dictionaries, each providing information about the various file types that the application supports. So, if you could find one application supporting that document type, you could be able to add this information to the OmniPage application package so that I think that the system would show it in the 'Recommended Applications'. Note that I haven't tried any of this.
