Can you precise your context? The project containing the aird file is a
"Modeling Project" (having "org.eclipse.sirius.nature.modelingproject"
nature) or not?
If this is the case, in the model explorer view, you should be able to
expand the aird file and access to the expected Ecore Diagram and then
double-click on it to open it.
If you are not in a modeling project, a double-click on the aird file
allows you to expand it and navigate on the expected Ecore Diagram to
open it.

The Design perspective is the old name of the Modeling perspective. The
message is an old one and should be reworded. You can create a bug for
this: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Sirius

This is not really a "problem" but the behavior is not the same with or
without this nature.

After this double click, you can not expand the aird file in the Model
Explorer?

A minimal project without "org.eclipse.jdt.core.javanature" has the same
"problem". It does not show *.java detail in the Package Explorer.
But without nature you can open an aird file (this is the legacy mode [1]).

The aird can contain several representations (diagrams, tables, tree,
....). So the "Open/With" has not really a sense. You can find general
information about the Modeling Project structure here [2].
