Get List of Certain Desktop Filetypes

  • Subject: Get List of Certain Desktop Filetypes

I am trying to get a list of specified filetypes on my Desktop:
(Akua)
tell application "Finder"
set x to items in desktop whose file type is in ({"M822", "TEXT"} as alias)
repeat with i in x
open alias i

ETC.

What is the best/right way to do this? Because I get error "Can't make
{"M822", "TEXT"} into a alias"

Thanks
