Skim just passes non-file URLs to the system to open it, so it uses your launch
services settings to decide how it should be opened, Skim is not involved in
this choice. So you don't tell Skim what you prefer, you must tell your system.
Note that the system looks at the scheme (textedit), not the extension, because
it's not a file URL. So how 'open test.ly' behaves is completely unrelated to
how textedit:// links are opened. Unfortunately Apple doesn't provide any
interface to choose the handler for a URL scheme, only for file types. There
are some third party pref panes filling that gap, e.g. RCDefaultApp (don't know
how good that is.)
