The context list is affected by your choices in File Associations. In 3.x you could add to the list with a context menu, IIRC, but the main way was always in the Control Centre, File Associations section. In KDE4 it's in SystemSettings > Advanced tab > File Associations. Add to the list any applications that you want to associate with the file type, remembering that the top one in the list will be the default - again, exactly as it was in KDE 3.
