Open file with command in ranger file manager

Hello,

I've found the ranger file manager and I really like it. I'm testing it to see if I can use it as my default file manager.
One behavior I need to replace would be the drag and drop from nautilus to open particular images with the imagej software.

In the terminal I can run

imagej --open file_name

I've been going through the ranger documentation and I don't get which should be the best approach for this, should it be a custom command or a script?
Ideally I would like it to be executed on the selected file/s upon a key binging pressing.

Best, José.
