You presumably need to associate the file type .RData with starting a
terminal and then executing R in that terminal.

I'm using Xubuntu, so my file manager is Thunar, and if I right click
on an .RData and select "use other application" then "custom command",
then put in 

xfterm4 -e R

this works.

On Ubuntu, your terminal is probably something else and may have
different syntax.  (gnome-terminal maybe? then man gnome-terminal in
case the -e option doesn't work for you).
