Hi, As far as I know, recoll only uses its own (and stale) copy of xdg-open if the system one is not found in the PATH. I'd be interested by more detail about how it gets to execute its own copy. There was probably a reason to ship a copy at some point in the past, but I forgot what it was, and depending on xdg-utils instead does seem quite reasonable.
