--- Comment #7 from Zeb Figura <z.figura12 at gmail.com> ---
I think you can get the desired behaviour by changing the contents of
HKCR\txtfile\shell\open\command, replacing "notepad.exe" with
"winebrowser.exe". That will automatically delegate to xdg-open, which will
open the user's preferred file browser.

I don't know if we want to do that by default. It's theoretically possible that
a program would depend on notepad being started in those cases, although it
doesn't strike me as very likely.

"wine start /exec file.txt" is a simple way to observe or test this behaviour.

It's also possible that some programs manually open notepad rather than
delegating to shell32. We could override notepad to xdg-open as well, but I'm
not sure we want to do that.
