    How does Zim handle mime types?

Zim follows the XDG spec, so behavior should be the same as XFCE. The reference application to test is "xdg-open". This is a commandline tool to open a file according to mimetype.

However fixing in zim is easy, just right-click on the link and go to the "open with" menu. There is a menu item to change the default.

xdg-open ~/somfile.ods

works

However it follows the 2012 implementation of the xdg tools. In the meantime they seem to have adopted another file for storing defaults, so zim could be updated accordingly.
