It worked, but I was testing with exo-open <url>. Seems that exo-open --launch WebBrowser doesn't (confirmed with ktsuss). Using exo-open <url> I guess it runs all the command (so command+args+url) while running --launch WebBrowser it takes only the first word (or something like that). I'll investigate on that.
