@alexmurray that code has never listed or show which application would
handle given URL scheme. The change affected the implementation of
io.snapcraft.Launcher, which is only called as a fallback when a snap
calls xdg-open inside it's namespace. The primary handler that is tried
goes through the desktop portal https://flatpak.github.io/xdg-desktop-
portal/#gdbus-org.freedesktop.portal.OpenURI which AFAIU prompts to
select an application for some number of attempts, which then goes away
if the user chose consistently chose the same application each time. So
if the prompt was originally shows, but now it's not, my guess would be
that it's the portal.

The fallback code would open an application for which there is a desktop
handler registered in the mime db. Perhaps we could improve that to show
a prompt? Anyways, this code isn't part of any stable release yet.
