I've made a proof of concept. It is still ugly, but it seems to be 
working:

https://github.com/dillo-browser/dillo/pull/199

The syntax is the one I commented before. Here is my rulesrc file:

   action "Open with MPV" shell "mpv $url"
   action "Open with MPV (only audio)" shell "mpv --no-video $url"
   action "Open with Firefox" shell "firefox $url"

And here is how it looks like: https://0x0.st/XcyR.png

Thanks for the patch. I will try to have something merged soon to at 
least cover this feature. But if I it gets stuck, I wouldn't mind 
merging your patch or something similar.

Best,
Rodrigo.
