xdg-open in the flatpak uses the portal APIs to open things, because
it doesn't really have full access to the host info/apps. However, the
portal should be able to see the associations, so something must be
going wrong here. What portal implementation are you running? i.e.
xdg-desktop-portal-gtk? or are you using xdg-desktop-portal-kde?
