It invokes instantly here, so I'd just use it to load the tag definitions file, select the line I want, and copy/paste into Calibre.

You can have the best of both worlds if you set Calibre to not open text files natively. When you double-click the dummy file in Calibre, it would send it out to Windows to handle, which in your case would open it in Notepad2.
A number of people have recommended having such a dummy file in Calibre for several purposes, including a placeholder for tags that aren't being used by any other books yet. I use one to store odd formats for configuring the Open With plugin. Funnily enough, most of these ideas don't really have any use for the actual contents of the file, which is what gave me the idea of using it for copy/paste snippets.
By the way, I prefer Notepad++.
