It doesn't. Traps are defined with the addtrap command (for which
there is a man page) and stored in /usr/OV/conf/C/trapd.conf which
is used by teh trapd daemon.
The mib browser(s) (there are 2 in 6.x, 3 different ones in 7.x!) are
entirely separate. They are called as separate tools by various
things in the GUI.
The only thing that attempts to tie a text MIB file to an addtrap is
the mib2trap program (For which there is also a man page). However,
beyond that, there is no interaction.

I'm afraid it does not interact that way.
