Defining your your own mime-type has a disadvantage in that nobody but
you knows about it (yet). In Boaz's approach it's not needed because it's
not an X session that's started from the browser (OCX) but an ssh session
that then starts the the remote app and tunnels the X session in case it's
a graphical app. So what would be needed is a tiny shell script that goes
like:

 #!/bin/sh
 ssh -X user at apphost '/path/to/wine/app.exe'

A mime-type for shell scripts already exists: application/x-sh

Funny how we were independently getting off-topic within the same thread.
