MultiTrack as a menu option in "open in"

It would really help my workflow if MultiTrack were available in the "open in" menus of other apps. Sorry if this has been requested before, but I didn't see it in my search.

It does happen, but not always when you'd expect it.

As an example:-
I've been using AudioShare as a quick simple mono recorder. It will record WAV files. When I click on the "Open In..." option, MT DAW doesn't show up. But if I convert the file to .m4a, and press "Open In...", MT DAW is now on the list. Which of course makes no sense, as MT DAW is perfectly capable of handling a 16/44.1 WAV file.

I have no idea how apps register their options with the OS, but I'm guessing that MT DAW needs to register some extra options.

The wav filetype "com.microsoft.waveform-audio" is registered and was working, but now it seems to be broken. I've filed a bug report with apple, with any luck they'll take a look. It seems other apps are specifying the ability to open ALL audio file formats, whereas multitrack lists the supported formats separately (because it supports extra formats, like ogg)
