(Get the code!)
Calling it xdg-open with similar semantics of xdg-open sounds nice. It already has an error code to report whether a tool was not found for it, so the application can give it a try and react appropriately if unavailable.
We need to do some basic validation on the value to make sure it looks sane and safe. xdg-open itself calls a huge number of openers and browsers, and we cannot trust that to be all safe.
