The default 'goto' may not suffice in case you would always like to open a
marker in an external editor. The default goto relies mainly on
IDE.openEditor (..marker..), which has its way of finding out the
appropriate editor. The first being a marker attribute IDE.EDITOR_ID_ATTR.
If that has not been set, it checks if the resources in question has a
persistent property EDITOR_KEY - this can be set for the resource in
question by calling IDE.setDefaultEditor(IFile file, String editorID), the
same happens when user chooses to "Open With" . If the above fails, it
finally looks up the EditorRegistry for OLE, and then external.
Look at the plugin org.eclipse.ui.ide to see code that contributes to
markersview's menu.
Plugin.xml :
<extension
Point="org.eclipse.ui.menus">
<menuContribution
LocationURI="popup:org.eclipse.ui.ide.MarkersView">
By default the command will appear on all marker based views. The
visibleWhen, enabledWhen,etc expression can be used to restrict the
commands visibility and enablement.
The Handler must extend MarkerViewHandler
<sample>
public class Testhandler extends MarkerViewHandler {
public Object execute(ExecutionEvent event) throws ExecutionException {
IMarker[] markers = getSelectedMarkers(event);
for (int i = 0; i < markers.length; i++) {
IResource resource = markers[i].getResource();
if (resource.getType() != IResource.FILE)
continue;
try {
IDE.openEditor(getView(event).getSite().getPage(),
(IFile) resource, "Microsoft Word");
} catch (PartInitException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return null;
}
}
</sample>

Thanks Ben,
That did the trick for me. I do however get an warning mentioning
"Discouraged Access : The type EditorRegistry is not accessible due to
restriction on required library
C:\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.ui.workbench_3.3.2.M20080207- 0800.jar "
for
EditorRegistry.SYSTEM_EXTERNAL_EDITOR_ID
I could add suppress warning but is there any other way of resolving
this warning ?
Thank you very much.
~Adil.

Hitesh,
Thank you very much for the explanation. Although Ben's marker attribute
technique did help me solve the problem, your explanation helped me
understand how the internals work.
Appreciate your help alot.
Cheers,
~Adil.
