If it works for you then no, xdg-open is a very simple script which will 
detect if your running enlightenment and then call enlightenment-open, 
or will check if your running kde and will call kde-open in that case 
because generally this is whats available on your system.

The only thing you really have to worry about is if your package manager 
updates xdg-utils then it might remove the symlink.
