I forget about the workaround posted year ago on AskUbuntu -
https://askubuntu.com/a/1237154/66509 .
Steps to be done to get this fixed:
1. Create *.desktop* file to provide new file-association for ELF
binaries:
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications
cat << EOF > ~/.local/share/applications/exec.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Run binary executable
Exec=sh -c %f
Terminal=false
Type=Application
EOF
1. Select this application as default launcher - select *Open with Other
Application* and set this newly created *Run binary executable* as default
launcher.
1. Double click on just created symlink to launch linked executable.
