Having a general framework for preferred applications without kludges

installed. What I want is to have "Web browser", "Email", "Text
editor"
etc generic functionality descriptions in the menus and only change it
*once* in *one* place where I can pick up my preferred browser or editor
etc from everything that's installed (or maybe even available) and be done
with it.
Easier said than done :(
But a good scheme. Even if something like htmlview can't realistically be
arranged for everything, this still seems like a decent approach for a menu
editor to take.
