How to create an option under "Open With" option when i right click on a file?

I am developing a RCP application that creates and shows chart. I have already developed the chart creation part. So now my goal is to when my runtime eclipse starts the package explorer already has the .csv file based on which i am creating chart. Now i want to right click on the .csv file and "Open with" should have an option called "ChartView" that on click will create a view with the chart which defines the selected file.

So how can i create a new option in "Open With" category that will create a new view on click. I tried to search this issue but unfortunately did not find any clue. Please help. Thanks

The "Open With" category is populated by the list of Editors that say they can open the file. You add an editor using the org.eclipse.ui.editors extension point.
