`xdg-open` doesn't work

Do you expect an action to be taken within the container (e.g. use Epiphany, if installed), or on your host?
We had an debate about xdg-open in the past, but there was some kind of show-stopper to realize the latter IIRC -- @TingPing surely knows better than me.

It's still something i want to implement someday. It just has questions.

It's hard to guess where the user wants things to open. It's valid to launch browsers inside and out. Some URLs only work inside like http://web-platform.test

Opening a file means mapping paths from container to host. Again maybe, depending on specific situations.

Some schemes you probably want to open inside like vscode.

The answer might just be have configuration for everything, guess for some defaults, could be fine.
