I'm not sure if it's the best way to do so, but it worked for me by
using a lambda:
(setq citar-file-open-function '(lambda (file)
(async-shell-command (format-message "sioyek \"%s\"" file))))
First of all, it is unsafe. File names for papers downloaded from
various sources may have enough fancy characters including double
quotes, etc. having special meaning for shell.
Use at least `shell-quote-argument' instead of adding double quotes.
Depending on your OS I suggest to have a look at the implementation of
`browse-url-xdg-open', `browse-url-default-macosx-browser',
`browse-url-default-windows-browser' for an example how to start
external viewer process.

You just need to set `citar-file-open-function` to your preferred
function; say xdg-open.
Is there a reason to avoid emacs global or even system global settings
obtained through mailcap.el? While `mailcap-view-file' is quite new
addition, the function was inspired by `org-open-file' and the latter
queries mailcap settings.
Actually I suspect that there may be some problems especially with
Emacs-27 (see "org--file-default-apps" thread), but the consequences is
not clear for me yet.
