There are two off-the-shelf ways.  I have just verified that they both
work on my Windows machine:

1. Use Leo's open-with commands.  

You set up the "Open With" menu in leoSettings.leo, the node::
#@settings-->Menus-->Open With menu

This will create one or more open-with-x commands, which you can then bind
to a keystroke if you like.

2. Use the context-menu plugin.  On my machine, the first popup item is
"edit in c:\scripts\ed.bat".  ed.bat simply opens a file using my default
editor, SciTe.

So the question is, where did c:\scripts\ed.bat come from?  According to
the contextmenu.py docstring, the first item in the popup list will be
"edit in $EDITOR"  However, it looks like ed.bat actually comes from the
LEO_EDITOR environment variable--my machine doesn't have EDITOR defined.

So I would suggest setting the LEO_EDITOR variable, and then using either
method.

HTH.  Please feel free to ask more questions.

P.S. You could also define a script to open nodes.  As you know, @command
and @button nodes create commands that you can bind to keys.
