Well, it never should IMO. A context-sensitive action (active_path)
should always take precedence over a plugin applicable to all nodes
(open_with).

Nothing is preveting from still doing it. act-on-node won't prevent
anything (unless that's the sole interface a plugin provides).

Providing this kind of granularity is what act-on-node easily
provides. I do think act-on-node is a very bad fit for open-with
plugin, event though I still disagree about active_path ;-)
