On Windows by what means and when would that happen.
Open With entries are stored in the Registry, what you suggest would require that calibre register an Add verb with an appropriate command. Calibre itself does NOT change the registry - for Open With, Add Book, View Book or anything else.
Adding entries to the registry manually or via utilities such as the one previously mentioned, or the similar one from Nils Soper, is not something to be blithely suggested. If the user switches from/to 64-bit, to 32-bit or portable values the registry entries wont work, and will have to be repaired manually. Changes can actually result in the losing ability to maintain file associations or add to Open With etc for all file types - the best solution I know for that is Reinstall Windows.
The Trusted Installer does maintain the Registry entries pertinent to the install, uninstall, repair services it provides to calibre, and other installed programs.
