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.
