Package: xdg-utils
Version: 1.1.3-4.1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Discussing about adding a feature to groff, to add 'clickable' links
(see <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/groff/2021-10/msg00000.html>),
and reading uri(7), which states that <man:less> and <man:less(1)>
are valid URIs, and that any tool accepting URIs should be able to
handle them.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I tried to run `open man:less` and `open 'man:less(1)'`, but both failed.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

A pop-up window with the following lines:

        Failed to open URI.
        The specified location is not supported.
        man:less

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Since (almost?) every system has man(1) installed, I'd expect xdg-open
to be able to handle these URIs by calling man(1).


Thanks,

Alex
