if you're using Windows, then create a shortcut to Edge (edge32.exe or gledge32.exe). Right click on that shortcut, choose properties. In the "Target:" box write add this parameter:
-file something.wad
for example:

target: c:\games\doom2\gledge32.exe -file cobra.wad
This means that you want to use a wad file called cobra.wad... simple huh ?

Wouldn't it be easier to hit view, folder options, file types, new type and fill in:

Description of type : Doom WAD
Associated Extension: .wad
Content Type: application/doom-wad

Actions: New
Action: Run Level in Edge
Application used to perform action:
Browse for Edge. Then, when the full path for it is in the box add -file %1 to the end of it. The %1 is the most important part.

Then OK your way back to the folder.

Double clicking on any wad file should now open it in Edge for you. You can also add -skill 4 to the end of it too to make it start off in Ultra Violence difficulty.


I think this is better, with the other way every time he opens Edge it opens up that wad too.

This is no good idea, if you want to use different source ports.
Better:
Make a shortcut like ViperBoy said, but in the target field write "c:\games\doom2\gledge32.exe -file %1". This way you can drag and drop any WAD file to the EDGE icon to run it with EDGE. This way you can make an icon for every source port you want to use, and always run a WAD with the desired one.
