I've been thinking a bit about this recently. There is really no need to do anything special, all the files of your installed app is available to the host system. All you need to know is where your app is installed (user vs system), and knowing that is really not any kind of security leak (it will be very guessable anyway). So, we should just add that info to /run/user/$uid/xdg-app-info and then have the app spawn the "open uri" portal (when we get one) with a file: uri for the help.
