Workflow to open a selected file in finder

[dtrce]

I'm trying to setup a workflow so that I can select a file in finder, invoke an hotkey which should bring in file to Alfred and give me an option to select the app I want to open the file in.

Basically simulating right click on file and using open in menu.

I was able to get a hot key trigger and open the selected file to a single but couldn't figure out how to choose an application.

Thanks

There's no need for a workflow, you can pretty much already do this. 

 

Select a file in Alfred and use the File Selection hotkey (Alt + Cmd + \ by default but you can change it in Features > File Search > Actions) to bring up the File Actions panel. Select Open With and pick or type the name of the app you want to open in
