Here is an explanation of how to find the default applications:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Default_applications

In a few words, there is no standard definition of default application 
on Linux desktops.

'Desktop.Open()' either uses the 'OpenURI' method of the desktop portal, 
or the 'xdg-open' script if the portal is not present or if 
'Desktop.UsePortal' property is false.
