Oh, sure. That works. There is *also* a utility out there
somewhere to change the type/creator association for double-
clicks (for example, I found out by accident that AIM had
claimed all files with creator code "oscr" and had to steal
it back because I had used that for all mine as well).
It's a hell of a lot more convenient to make BBEdit claim
all text files with a particular creator code than it is
to change all text files to creator code "R*ch".

What I think
Dave is talking about is changing the
association of text files so they're not opened with
TeachText/SimpleText by default. I don't remember
exactly how that's done, but there's a third-party utility
for that as well; I need to boot up my old 7300 which
was my personal machine in the '90s, because it has a
lot of these guys installed.
You just change the creator code. For example, R*ch would open it in
BBEdit (Rich Siegel's little easter egg).
