M-x consult-locate search results won't open following dired-open package config

[tinglycraniumplacidly]

I use the dired-open package. dired and normal locate will open files according to the file's extension (see example config below). I'm wondering how to get consult-locate to follow suit. Out of the box, it just does find-file and opens it in an emacs buffer. Wondering if you have any advice, thanks!

(use-package dired-open
  :requires dired
  :defines
  dired-open-extensions
  dired-open-find-file-function
  dired-open-functions
  dired-open-extensions-elisp
  :config
  (setq dired-open-extensions
        (quote
        (("mp3" . "mpvctl add")          
          )))
  (setq dired-open-find-file-function (quote dired-find-file))
  (setq dired-open-functions
        (quote
         (dired-open-call-function-by-extension
         dired-open-by-extension dired-open-subdir))))

You could try writing your own command like this:

(defun my-consult-locate (&optional initial)
  (interactive)
  (my-dired-open-function (consult--find "Locate: " #'consult--locate-builder initial)))

I hope this helps!

beautiful tysm! i just had to add a modified 'dired-open-by-extension' fn to take the file arg.
