There are two ways to enable opening of a feed item in your application:

1. Pass the URI as an argument in the Exec command specified in the .desktop file, e.g Exec=/path/to/my/binary %U.
2. Add a DBus service (e.g. com.me.MyApplication) for your application that includes a method for displaying the feed item (e.g. showFeedItem). The method should have DBus method signature "as" (an array of strings, or in Qt terms, QStringList).

The DBus method is better because, as far as I'm aware, passing the URI as an argument to the Exec command only works when there is not an instance of your application already running (unless you allow multiple instances, which is undesirable in most cases). The DBus method allows you to raise an existing instance of your application.

Additionally, using DBus means that you do not necessarily need to add a URI handler, because the event feed itself has a DBus method to add events to it, which allows you to specify a DBus call as the action (whereas MEventFeed uses libcontentaction, which in turn requires you to add the URI handler). Of course, it may well be useful to add the URI handler anyway, for other purposes.

Yes, as far I know, though I prefer the DBus method over MEventFeed.

If you add a DBus service, your DBus method will be called with the URL as the argument. You then need to handle this inside your application to display whatever data you wish. Same applies if you receive the argument via the Exec command.

I recommend adding a DBus service regardless of whether or not you use MEventFeed to add the items, otherwise you will face the problem of not being able to pass an argument to an existing instance of your application.
