The second error message is due to the fact tht xdg-open isn't findable
in your snap (Qt is using that helper to open an url). Remember the
previous discussions on using xdg-open to transmit browser opened
request on the desktop. Add /usr/loca/bin to your $PATH in your snap
path, ensure you have the desktop service installed and that should work.

Not opening random files on the system is by design, xdg-open filter
thoses. You can join the discussion at
