This already happens, except if

- the particular code path does not call the .edit() method of the form
- the OS does not have a editor/viewer configured for the mime type
- or -- new in 1.4 -- the user told GNUmed to NOT call an editor
  on a particular template AND the code path does not override that
  decision ;-)
