Well, rather than using xdg-open and use mimetypes, I was looking for how to add new protocol handlers. For example to have url of that form "dummy://......." This would start a given application associated to this "dummy" protocol. Pretty much like apt in Ubuntu where you declare links in web pages like this apt://.... And that launches the installation of that application.
I am wondering how that could be done in the Meego browser (not in Chrome actually, I meant Chromium in fact).
