@yochananmarqos, this deletion request is based on mistaken assumptions.

TLDR: It is not hard to create a modified package based on xdg-utils source by 
deleting one script, 'xdg-open', and making the package depend on another 
package that either has an alternative implementation of that script with the 
same name, or a symlink with the same name pointing to another shell script 
that is interface-compatible with the original 'xdg-open'.

For more details, please kindly read the discussion that took place on 
2023-06-27 on the following page:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xdg-utils-no-open
(archived: https://archive.ph/zk7uR)

Ref also owner's merge request [PRQ#43206] from xdg-utils-no-open to 
xdg-utils-custom-open.

Please kindly revoke this ill-conceived deletion request and let @jfrankenau 
implement a viable, Arch-repo-compatible drop-in customization solution for 
xdg-utils that is mostly similar to what Arch's 'xdg-desktop-portal' package 
already utilizes:

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/xdg-desktop-portal/

Thank you for your kind cooperation. :)
