A default application doesn't really help since you should then get
cancel/save/open instead of cancel/save/open-with, not much improvement there.

But you might want to simply emulate the "don't ask again" checkbox being clicked.
For that, add to your app's config file, under [Notification Messages] :

askEmbedOrSaveapplication/x-shockwave-flash=no
askEmbedOrSaveapplication/octet-stream=no
etc.
and the same with "EmbedOr" removed (askSave...)
