A few months ago I put together a draft specification for a standard mechanism for specifying default applications for things like terminal emulators, calculators, etc. that don't fit aren't necessarily opened with a file with a MIME type: https://gist.github.com/tmccombs/1642aacd4f6f8078ac0a718b72a65699 In particular, this specifies which terminal application should be used to launch applications from desktop entries with Terminal=true. My main motivation for writing this is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/338 . I would appreciate any feedback. - Thayne
