You can try playing with the “pattern” and “magic header”s of the text/x-c++hdr mime type in Options > Environment > MIME Types.
That should work for opening them in the C++ style editor. Though note that we do not necessarily respect the magic headers in all other things that we do, for performance reasons (since it requires opening a file and reading part of it, which is slow if it needs to be done for _many_ files).
