How about this minor variation:

    Previously, users had to manually configure their desktop environment
    to open 'org-protocol' links in Emacs.  On any XDG-compliant desktop
    environment, including KDE and GNOME on GNU/Linux, and some others,
    these links should now open in Emacs automatically

Does the above change solve this problem as well?  Or maybe try this
variant:

  ** On capable systems, Emacs is now the default application for 'org-protocol'.
  Org mode provides a way to quickly capture bookmarks, notes, and links
  using 'emacsclient':

      emacsclient "org-protocol://store-link?url=URL&title=TITLE"

  Previously, users had to manually configure their desktop environment
  to open 'org-protocol' links in Emacs.  On any XDG-compliant desktop
  environment, including KDE and GNOME on GNU/Linux, and some others,
  these links should now open in Emacs automatically if the application
  that opens the link follows the XDG spec and xdg-utils are installed.
  This is because the "emacsclient.desktop" file now arranges for Emacs
  to be the default application for the 'org-protocol' URI scheme.  See
  the Org mode manual, Info node "(org) Protocols" for more details.
