The default contains the `%d` wildcard, which is replaced by the directory. 
[This man page](https://www.mankier.com/1/xdg-open) says "Open the current 
directory in the default file explorer: `xdg-open .`", which implies you can 
give it a directory and it will open a file explorer program. It works on my 
Linux Mint anyway. (I did the cinnamon install and I don't have nautilus).

xdg-open with a file (i.e. if the user changes `%d` to `%f`), opens the 
associated program for that file, it doesn't open the file manager. If the user 
wanted the file manager to select the file, they should change it to e.g. `nemo 
%f`, which works on my system.
