Ok, this would mean the xdg-open tools don't allow context-sensitive

The only relevance is that this- in my opinion at least- should be the
primary way that a program tries to locate subsidiary file viewers etc.
It's the unix answer to ShellOpenEx() (or whataver the Windows API's
function is).
Ah, ok.
AFAIU, LCLIntf.OpenDocument('thedocument.chm'); would open the CHM file
with the system viewer (if present) in a cross-platform way.
On Windows (sysenvapis_win.inc) it uses ShellExecute/ShellExecuteW.
On Unix, Linux (sysenvapis_unix.inc), it looks for xdg-open, kfmclient,
gnome-open and tries those.
On OSX (sysenvapis_mac.inc), it runs
RunCmdFromPath('open',ResultingPath);
too lazy to look up what that does.
There seems to be an implementation for Android customdrawn as well.
Thanks for that- I'd missed that the xdg stuff had (finally :-) been added.
