Description of the new feature / enhancement
There should be a spot in the manifest where for a portable package, file types can be assigned to a program. A file icon can optionally be assigned. This is useful for certain programs that open files, such as touchHLE and WineVDM

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; start by locating portable-package manifest handling and the registry integration. Define how file-type assignments and an optional icon should be represented for programs such as touchHLE and WineVDM. Done means the manifest supports these assignments and the resulting registry behavior is verified.
