I don't think GNOME has a way to set a preferred terminal emulator, but in
Debian, Ubuntu etc you can use the update-alternatives command to set
x-terminal-emulator.

You can configure which app to use for certain filetypes, eg use evince for
PDF, when they're opened in the Nautilus file manager. Right click on a
file of that type, select "Properties" from the menu, then select the "Open
with" tab. Choose the application then click "Set as default". Sorry, I am
also ignorant of the German translations for these.

I think XDG and its utilities provide a way to manage this sort of thing
too.
