Change photo opening preferences

When I go to click on a photo, the Photos application does not show up unless I click other. I don't want it to be my default app, but I definitely would use it before Brave, Google, QuickTime, ColorSync... I know how to make Photos my default, but I use preview more. I literally just want to make it the second or third option after Photoshop. Thank you!

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.5

If the photo is not in your Photo.app you would expect Preview to open.

If you select an image file, Command i opens the "Information Pane" —
