When clicking a link in an application to a text/plain resource, if the default text editor has Terminal=true set in its .desktop file, it errors out:

Open URL Error

Unknown URL type, cannot open:
  %U
  -e
  nvim
  https://git.tebibyte.media/emma/xdg-sanity/raw/branch/main/xdg-sanity.sh

Press Enter or Esc to exit

somehow the %U -e nvim is being passed to handlr.

This behavior does not occur when xdg-open is run directly from the terminal. It opens properly in neovim.

This was a kitty issue, fixed by modifying the desktop file. If I can find the link again to how I fixed it, I will put it here.
