Nope. This doesn’t work when you have binaries that are not recognized by GNOME. You need to make a .desktop file for your binary first that define MIME types for that app. If it is a MIME type that is not recognized by the freedesktop.org database, you also have to create an XML file that defines your specific file type based on file extension or other characteristics. Then, you need to use Nautilus to set the default app. It’s a pain in the ass if it’s not a standard app from the Ubuntu App Store and a standard MIME type.
maybe this can help
