Of course it is, how quickly I forget

Just setup a configuration line in tweaks for each format you want to open with a shortcut and get it to execute the ebook-viewer.exe located within your program files\calibre2 folder (assuming you are on Windows).

For instance add a line like this in there to open EPUB with an Alt+Shift+E shortcut:
('EPUB (Calibre)', 'EPUB', 'C:\\Program Files\\Calibre2\\ebook-viewer.exe', None, 'library.png', 'Alt+Shift+E')

Alternatively you could wait a week and there will be a new version of that "Open with" plugin with a gui configuration dialog instead, which should make it a little bit easier to configure. You will have to "redo" any custom configuration when you install it anyway, the price of progress
