No, the program to execute may be stored in the registry (I would rather
use a preference item, but I am not sure how to add them, and haven't had
the time to look into it).

There are extra menu options (all placed nicely in an AbiPaint submenu)
to change the program to be used and whether the program requires BMP
files or can work with PNG (the prefered, but not as widely supported
by image editing/view programs on windows). You can also manually edit
the registry (even while AbiWord is running) to change the program.

There are several changes I'd like to make, but for now it works for
me under Windows 2000 & 95, and I have some other stuff I want to
play with.
A couple of snapshots to demonstrate are available at

(AbiPaint is largely based on existing plugins, which should be easily
noticable when looking at its source.)
