Description:
It would be nice to have the ability to open a SQL file from the OS level into Workbench.

How to repeat:
1) Have workbench open with an active connection
2) select a SQL file from the OS level 
3) right click -> Open with -> Workbench
4) Error "Unrecognized File Type.  MySQL Workbench does not know how to open file... .sql"

Suggested fix:
1) Have workbench open with an active connection
2) select a SQL file from the OS level 
3) right click -> Open with -> Workbench
4) Have it open in the current active tab

Thank you for the feature request. This, surprisingly, indeed does NOT work on Windows.

This is the same functionality as double clicking an sql file and open it in WB. This is basic behavior and should work if WB is associated with SQL files. So I'm raising prio to get this into WB.
