The patch in bug#63911 relies on the helper functions implemented
in the core package emacs/lisp/xdg.el such as 'xdg-mime-apps'
and 'xdg-desktop-read-file'.
The package https://codeberg.org/akib/emacs-xdg-appmenu
duplicates the work already done in xdg.el.
However, it's hard to compare these two implementations.
Maybe in case if something is missing in xdg.el
it could be improved based on code from the package?
