Clickonce, file associations

I've deployed, successfully, several Clickonce applications.

The problem I have is the negative reaction to my software when a user
attempts to open a file and no association exists between the file and the
application.

Now I understand the technical’s of why it currently isn't possible to do
this 'out of the box' with Clickonce, and I don't like the con's associated
with creating the association programmatically. But my reality is: no matter
how easy an application is to install or update for a customer, if that
customer can't click on a file attachment and have my application launch with
the file opened the application is 'difficult' to use.

Management currently is supporting the Clickonce deployment model and would
like to stay with it. We believe however that Clickonce would be a complete
solution for us with the incorporation of file association functionality.

So the question becomes: is there a roadmap within, or around, Microsoft
that outlines a schedule of an attempt to add this functionality to Clickonce?
