Provide a GUI for applying default handlers for each and all URI schemas (like one can for Media Types)

[rokejulianlockhart]

Rationale

Ultimately, the most succinct summary of why I request this is the undermentioned:

@rokejulianlockhart

In Windows, ms-settings:defaultapps allows you to change the default associations for URI schemas (like vscode:) in addition to file extensions.

In contrast, kcmshell6 kcm_filetypes solely appears to be capable of setting them for (custom) IANA Media Type-representations of file extensions.

Unfortunately, per the undermentioned, this isn’t possible:

@ngraham

the Default Applications page in System Settings shows a hardcoded set of URI handlers, not all of them that are available on the system.

…which allows me affirm another respondent’s advisory that I post this as an informal FR here:

@krake

Maybe add an entry in the Brainstorm section?

Triage

Would this be of use if properly requested at bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=systemsettings as a “Wishlist” item?

To be slightly more precise: it is possible, just not in System Settings.

Yes, I think that makes sense

@krake, forgot to put that in the title, even though that’s the crux of the post… Changed it to:
