I think "View as Abiword Document" is the most appropriate label here.

I agree with Alex and Dave that it is not good idea to enable users to
edit documents through Nautilus. I think it would be very confusing for
users who are used to opening an application to edit a file.

And if it was possible to edit documents from Nautilus, we might have to
reconsider the term "view".
