https://libelektra.org/ will provide a solution for that, we have
considerable progress in providing both kconfig and gsettings backends
recently. The current maintainer has the goal to make these two backends

With Elektra, you would only need to specify which key contains the
information. KDE, GNOME and vendors could implement overrides and
fallbacks using Elektra's specifications. This can, of course, be used
in many more areas far beyond than just default application handling.
