Are there any documents that tell how to setup either individual

I would love to have the VM that I use for webmail to automatically
open links or files in the webmails in a DVM, preferably with a
context menu or something like that gives a choice of regular dvm or
whonix dvm.
There is :)

Feel free to improve the doc if you find things that aren' clear.
I found Micha Lee's page which covers this but perhaps parts of it are
qubes 3.2 centric and dont work quite the same on 4.0?
Perhaps there are some other .desktop examples out there or a 4.0
guide on doing this?
Anyway.
I tried something like:
qvm-open-in-vm fedora-28-dvm https://startpage.com
and it worked, or the window popped up and I had to select fedora-28-dvm
I made a .desktop like instructed containing:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=BrowserVM
Exec=qvm-open-in-vm fedora-28-dvm %u
Terminal=false
X-MultipleArgs=false
Type=Application
Categories=Network;WebBrowser;
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/unknown;x-scheme-handler/about;text/html;text/xml;application/xhtml+xml;application/xml;application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml;application/rss+xml;application/rdf+xml;image/gif;image/jpeg;image/png;x-scheme-handler/http;x-scheme-handler/https;
but when I tried to use
xdg-settings set default-web-browser
./local/share/applications/browser_vm.desktop
it tells me:
xdg-settings: invalid application name
Try 'xdg-settings --help' for more information.
You shouldn't use the full path. This should work:
xdg-settings set default-web-browser browser_vm.desktop
So. Am i doing something wrong in the .desktop or in using xdg-settings
and
is there a way to have it bypass the window that asks which target VM,
or at least pulls that target vm up (as I already specified which
target vm I wanted to send it to via qvm-open-in-vm fedora-28-dvm
Yes there is a way, you have to edit some dom0 RPC permissions to
reflect your setup (it's in the doc too).

Wow, thats quite long, perferct! I will check it out? Is it listed on
