I don't know if any current desktop environments provide this (or expose it in
such a way that it can be used by xdg-open) - if not, that's a different bug -
but, hypothetically, a desktop environment might well keep a directory
containing two helper applications for each MIME type: one for viewing, one for
editing and in that case an xdg-edit or similar which is able to make use of
that info would be useful.

It may well be that no current environment supports that, which could do with
fixing upstream (and until that day I suppose xdg-edit is an impossibility).
