It looks like you can use regexps:

C-h v dired-guess-shell-alist-user

dired-guess-shell-alist-user's value is 
nil

Documentation:
User-defined alist of rules for suggested commands. These rules take
precedence over the predefined rules in the variable
`dired-guess-shell-alist-default' (to which they are prepended).

Each element of this list looks like

    (REGEXP COMMAND...)
