No, it appears you are trying to be too lazy ;-)

Zope will by default create DTML Documents when text files are uploaded. 
You can however use a PUT_factory to make it create whatever you heart desires.

An example PUT_factory can be found here:
<http://www.zope.org/Members/shh/Patches/PUT_factory.py>

What it basically does is mapping a MIME type to a Zope object type.
