(Get the code!)
As you have discovered, XFCE and GNOME have the same database for application associations and no special-casing. This is their version of "coexist" I guess. We don't support any desktop environment special-casing because the backend we have today is convenient and correct on XFCE and GNOME.
It basically will always behave like double-clicking a file or folder in Thunar or Nautilus. The exception is that these file managers open folders in themselves, not using the default viewer.
Anyway, everything can be solved. Maybe if you manage to set xdg-open as the default opener, that it will adapt at runtime to the DE that is running.
