Eclipse plugin - Editor associated to file extension and perspective

Question

I'm developing tow eclipse plugin, I have the next problem:

I have two perspective that manages the same files. I would like to make an association between file extension - editor - perspective.

I mean if I open the file extension .XXX in perspective 1 it uses the editor A, but if I open the same file extension .XXX in perspective 2, it uses the editor B.

is it possible? Since now, I used the launcher but now I need more differentiation.

Thanks.

(Sorry, this is one of those "don't do that!" non-answers. :))

As mentioned in the comments, I'd recommend against opening a different editor depending on the current perspective. I think that goes against the expectations of the user, and has some unintuitive consequences, e.g. when I create my own perspectives.

I'd recommend going the path of Eclipse' XML/Plug-in manifest editors, for example. Tabs at the bottom allow the user to choose between the different views, independent of any perspective choice or configuration.
