Hello Org Maintainers,

I believe there’s a bug in org-open-at-point.  The help text states
that with a double prefix argument (C-u C-u C-c C-o), it should “try
to open outside of Emacs, in the application the system uses for this
file type.”  However, when I use this command with a double prefix
argument on a media file link in org file (e.g.,
[[file:big_buck_bunny.webm]]), the media file opens inside Emacs
instead of externally in mpv (my default video player).

This behavior is inconsistent because dired-do-open (E) in dired
buffer correctly opens the same file in mpv.

Could you confirm if I’m doing something wrong or missing something or
if it is actually a bug?

I tested this with “emacs --no-init”.

Emacs: GNU Emacs 30.1
Org mode version: 9.7.11  (I also tested on org version: 9.7.30)

Thank you for your time.
