I was able to do it with the following, but I don't see VLC's controls,
only the display. VLC appears to be playing the vob, WiMP the ASF stuff.
I'd like to be able to improve on this, including signalling VLC to stream
say from 2 minutes 33 seconds to 2 minutes 45 seconds to correspond
to the HTMLTIME code for a 12 second clip. If anyone has any advice
please share. This is all a bit ugly hack at the moment, but it works a bit.
 ANyway:

With the registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT, I made
.VOB   <No  Name>:REG_SZ:VOB.CLIP
             ContentType:REG_SZ:video/vob

and later:

VOB.CLIP
    shell
          open

And then in Windows Explorer/FolderOptions/FileTypes to create the
rest, under Advanced, I have:

Action:
open

APplication used to perform action:
"C:\Program Files\VideoLan\VLC\vlc.exe" "%1"

[You can probably just add this under open in the registry].

It took me some messing around to get the Advanced option,

Then I played with some HTMLTIME (Microsoft's version of SMIL)
in an html file to get it to play. (here
