I just did some research on this problem; it's due to some
half-completed architectural changes introduced during Eclipse 3.0
development. If you search the Eclipse Bugzilla, you'll find this bug
reported for many different editors during that time, most notably the
Ant build.xml editor. The sad truth is that "Open External File...",
which itself is new in Eclipse 3, uses a quite different (and more
complex, and less well documented!) mechanism than the normal "Open"
command does to make the connection between the file and the editor.

Fixing this is unfortunately ludicrously complicated. It should and
will be done eventually, but the cost/benefit is such that it probably
won't be done soon.
