The workaround that I found is using the nautilus-actions package.  It
makes it possible to define actions to take for  files that match a
specific criteria (even folders).  When a file is right clicked, if it
matches a predefined criteria, the specified action will appear under a
menu called "Nautilus-Actions actions" in the popup menu.  This is the
closest to the original functioning that I've been able to find.

Title:
  nautilus "open with" property no longer available for folders

Status in Nautilus:
  Won't Fix
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  After upgrading to ubuntu 9.04 (amd64), nautilus "open with" property
  is no longer available for folders.

  How to reproduce: 
  - open a nautilus window
  - right click on any folder icon and choose properties
  - observe that there is no longer a tab called "Open With"

  All previous ubuntu versions had this property tab so I think this is
  a bug.

  I need the "Open With" property tab to be able to delete entries in
  Nautilus' "Open With" context menu.

  For example, I use nautilus' context menu to open (associate) a media
  folder with my music player (audacious), so that the player plays all
  the music files in that folder. Similarly with photograph folders and
  so on.

  With Jaunty, there is no way I can find to remove any of the "Open
  With" entries in nautilus context menu for Folders. Note that the
  "Open With" property tab still works fine for regular files; the only
  problem now is with folders.

  Please give us back the "Open With" property for folders!
