How do you configure VSCode to open a given file type in an external editor?

Question

In my current specific case, I'm trying to open a .po file with Poedit. I will also likely want to open .psd files with Photoshop, and .svg files with Illustrator.

I suspect I'm still missing the proper term to search. I've found a reference to launch.json (which I think is for configuring external debugging?) but have yet to find that, much less my current goal of "Let me double click a PO and open it in Poedit!"

Answer 1

EDIT: This seems not to be possible currently (see also https://github.com/fabiospampinato/vscode-open-in-application/issues/9 ).

Orignal answer:

You could try this extension: Open in Application

Answer 2

I found this extension: Open in External App by YuTengjing . Once installed, I can open the asset in the specified app by us. I really like the option where I can open a file in multiple apps at once (eg. open an html file in Chrome, Firefox and Edge for cross-browser testing).
