Associated Image File Types (UTI) with iOS App - Doesn’t Show "Open in ..." in Mail / Safari

Question

I have an application that opens several types of files, but image files look different. However, in Mail and Safari, the options for most file types with related applications are "Open In ..." or "Open In [AppName]" (if there is only one), since images are embedded as rich text in email and web messages -pages, option exists only for "Save Image" and "Copy"

Is it possible to link the iOS application with image file types and open the images directly in the application, or all of them must be saved in the photo library and then imported (please say no!)

Here are the image file associations from my plist:

<dict> <key>LSHandlerRank</key> <string>Alternate</string> <key>LSItemContentTypes</key> <array> <string>public.png</string> </array> </dict> <dict> <key>LSHandlerRank</key> <string>Alternate</string> <key>LSItemContentTypes</key> <array> <string>public.tiff</string> </array> </dict> <dict> <key>LSHandlerRank</key> <string>Alternate</string> <key>LSItemContentTypes</key> <array> <string>public.jpeg</string> </array> </dict> 

Answer 1

I assume the answer is the same as for tiff files: it is currently not possible to match images.
