There is also
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-specs/-/merge_requests/46 which is
another attempt to solve the same problems, since
https://github.com/Vladimir-csp/xdg-terminal-exec wasn't getting a lot of
traction.

    <p>xdg-terminal-exec is an implementation. Other apps can implement
      the spec on their own (parse configs and entries, select and
      launch). For example, application launcher component of my <a href=3D=
"https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/Vladimir-csp/uwsm" target=3D"_blank">uwsm</=
a>
      implements it, although it is a bit less strict with arguments
      since it is an application launcher with launch-in-terminal
      feature.<br>
