Is there a relatively trivial way to do that ?
no
You may be able to do this by wrapping your script with something like Platypus.
Or perhaps an AppleScript.
I think associating a file type (or extension) requires a bundle
identifier. I'm not sure that Platypus or an AppleScript provides
this.
i understand that Platypus can do this; AppleSripts saved as an
application bundle need some manipulation -- here's some info:
<http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/bundletools/index.html>
the key for this to work is that your resulting script wrapper must
successfully handle the open event and receive the file(s) you have
double-clicked, and pass those files as arguments to the shell script
