It really sounds like what we need is: “Always allow zoom.us to open ‘Zoom’” within browsers. Even Spotify runs a local web server for this.

- azernik 7y agoThis is inherently a security problem because web sites can open URLs without user awareness or deceive users about the content of said URLs. On Ubuntu, xdg-open phrases the checkbox as something like "always allow X program to handle foo:// URLs?", which is probably not comprehensible to the average user; more accurate phrasing would be "always allow websites to open X program?" Which I think indicates why I'm so skeptical that this is a good option to give to users.
