Thanks for pointing out that thread! That threads talks about a d-bus interface, which seems unnatural to me, since for all other kind of open actions, we use mime-types -> application logic. As discussed in that thread, the dbus interface idea adds nothing that allows the user to specify which file-manager he wants to use (similar to how the user can select a preferred browser and a preferred mail client). To me the d-bus interface feels like look we've got this hammer called d-bus, and that looks like it might be a nail, so lets hammer it. Besides that d-bus does not seem to be the right tool for this, and does not allow a user to easily choose between multiple implementations of the same interface, it seems that the thread you reference also never reached any sort of conclusion.
