.txt files already open with Notes, as far as I know.

Although the rest, I would like to know as well.

To answer OP's question,

Yes, this is called mime types, I dont know by heart where the mime type configuration is, but It should be in an arbitrary linux location, search google for mime types in linux or something, or search the forums because i know it has been answered here countless times.

Well, there's an executable /usr/bin/update-mime-database and another one called /usr/bin/tracker-register-mimetype which is meant to add and delete associations and there's /usr/share/mime directory. I think it's there.

Couldn't find the traditional /etc/mailcap though.
