Is there an equivalent of "Open With..." in Midnight Commander?

Double-clicking on a file opens it with a standard program. Can I choose a program to open it? For example, I have video files opened by default through VLC, and I want to open the file through SMPlayer now.

Three actions can be configured through the extension file - the reaction to Enter, F3 and F4 on the file. The extensions file in mc is quite well commented and there are heaps of examples there.
