Yup, and as I understand it, the purpose of dbus-switchboard is to intercept these calls and reroute them to more useful handlers, such as Tear. However, the previous mentions of dbus-switchboard in this thread seem to only refer to people wondering how to do it, and the same question has come up and gone unanswered in switchboard's own thread as well. So far you seem to be the only one who knows how to do it - could you share?

@TrueJournals: Ah, you rock! Thanks, that already takes care of 85% of my external link opening. Should've looked more carefully!
