This is not an org-cite issue per se; it's a citar issue, since that package provides the org-cite "follow" functionality. You just need to set `citar-file-open-function` to your preferred function; say xdg-open. Note that this may change in the future; I'm contemplating making it an alist so you can set different ones for different extensions. Bruce
