What xdg-open invokes depends on the installed applications and, if
multiple applications are registered for handling a MIME type, on user
preferences.
On Windows, the closest analogy is file type associations via the registry.
Both are better than a hard-coded list of applications that might or
might not be installed on the user’s machine, and, if installed, might
or might not be their preference.
