How do I add file types to Windows 8 “File Associations” for Metro apps

$

I needed to create a new file type ".pd". I want to have the Microsoft Reader Metro app open this file type.

I've written a VBScript to manipulate and rename the files. Now I want to open it with the Microsoft Reader Metro app. I have two choices, 1) within the VBScript 2) have the user double click on it. I prefer to have the VBScript open the ".pd" file for the users.

Using "How do I add file types to Windows 8 "File Associations"? does not allow me to associate a new file type listed in Control Panel → Programs → Default Programs → Set Associations "Change program..." with an existing Metro app - Microsoft Reader.

Everything I've seen easily associates exe files. (gpedit.msc on the Server, ASSOC, Ftype, etc.)

Basically I want the .PD extension to work exactly like the .PDF extension.

Anyone have suggestions?
