This should already be partly possible.

There is a switch for running a script at start (-P scriptname), just make it 
do nothing if no file name is passed.  I believe you can set a switch default 
under most OS's.

There's also an "onLoad" script link that you could set in your .b.blend 
defaults file (using CTRL-U).  This would have the advantage that it would 
work when loading a file in blender, too.

I think it would require changing the loading function to allow other file 
types.  I know only .blend's are highlighted as valid in the File Browser.
