I want the "Ask whether to open or save files" prompt to keep appearing (see attachment).

My grudge is with the default option that comes preselected when it appears.

I'd like it to be "Open with" instead of "Save File".

Is this possible?

I've googled this issue and also searched this site but the answers I've found are either pretty dated, unhelpful or not working currently.

Would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction, confirming if what I want is actually possible (I'd swear it is, if memory serves right) and if so, how to achieve it.

Thanks in advance for your time if you read this!
