I wonder if the following is possibe in zsh.
I type command name "xyz.pdf" (And there is no function or executable
script named "xyz.pdf"). I want the shell to invoke my action
"acroread $0" in this case: when command matches *.pdf and there is
no such function or executable script. I think this is impossible in
bash,
correct me if I'm wrong.
Possible in zsh ?

alias -s pdf=acroread

Then type xyz.pdf.

(but that means that you don't benefit from a selective
completion).
