File Association, LibreOffice, Windows 7

Is it OK now to associate Libre Office files (.odt) with the Libre Office portable app?

I know it was shunned earlier, because by doing that, your associating the file with the the app and not the launcher, but I read in the forums that there were plans to integrate file associations with portable apps. I wasn't sure what the status of that was.

It's confusing because, in Windows 7 (64-bit), I can choose to associate .odt files with "Libre Office Writer Portable." The File Properties dialog then reads "Libre Office Writer Portable" as the program that opens the odt file. It suggests that the file *is* associated with the actual portable app launcher.

Hope someone can clarify. Thanks in advance!
