If you've installed the OS X developer tools you'll find a terminal
command at the following path that lets you set creator and file types.
/Developer/Tools/SetFile
Set the creator type of your AppleScript application to XCEL and when
you launch an Excel file, the AppleScript will claim ownership of the
file and your script can then redirect it to OpenOffice. In theory
anyway ;-)
Bare Bones Software used to do a similar thing to redirect SimpleText
files to BBEdit.

In Mac OS X if you have save the script as an Applet, you could in
Finder change the open with application in the Info Panel to you
AppleScript, you will probable have to give you AppleScript
Application a new unique creator code to differentiate it from any
other AppleScript Applets.

Is it possible to associate a document with an Applescript? I would
like to automagically open xls files with OpenOffice.
