Follow-up Comment #4, bug #54064 (project octave):

If this bug is only relevant for Octave with the GUI active, should we prefer
the Qt desktop integration MIME functions to yet another additional
third-party library?

https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmimedatabase.html

That's why I asked if this problem is only relevant for when the GUI is
active.

If someone uses the open function in command-line mode, shouldn't it always
open the file in an external program unconditionally?

If the GUI is active, then the interpreter can defer to the GUI to determine
how the file should be opened.
