That's not how filetypes work.

If I remember correctly this is how I tricked some "smart" tv though. It wouldn't play .mp4 files or something but had no problem when I renamed them .avi.

It's a workaround if you're on Windows and file extensions determine the program that opens the file

Or you could just configure the file extension associations so that webp opens with some program you have that supports it.
