The default graphics editor is defined on Windows at
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\image\shell\edit\command but there
isn't such an export variable or the like in Linux. The info for the Open With
menu is extracted from <app>.desktop at /usr/share/applications or
~/.local/share/applications/ where MimeType defines for what file type this
program is applicable. Not sure how macOS handles this task but likely in the
same way.

Putting all together I think Cor's suggestion from comment 9 is the easiest way
- and perhaps a nice easyhack with a higher difficulty. Ideally we get a
command .uno:ExternalEditor, which is disabled when the option is not set. It
opens the program parametrized with the internal image. That could be tricky.
