You could add a menu item targeted to closed projects to select a file for Open With.

Temporarily removing a nature just changes the abilities provided on that project (e.g., removing PDE nature turns the project into a normal Java project), whereas closing a project removes it from consideration.
You can delete a project without removing the content to remove it from your project list. Does that mean closed-projects are useless?
