            Bug ID: 53260
           Summary: Wine won't open distro-installed text editors and the
                    like
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86-64
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: orowwith2os at gmail.com
      Distribution: ---

I've seen, multiple times, people have an issue where Wine won't open a file
(from inside the wine prefix) with an external host application, like NeoVIM,
Kate, or Visual Studio Code, instead stating 
I believe it would be a minor, but worth it, feature to add to Wine. 
If I had to suggest a way to implement this, I would suggest using the
xdg-desktop-portals, as they work with sandboxed applications like Flatpak, and
may be the ideal method to use for Wine. 

TL;DR, please add the ability to open files from inside Wine with external
applications, possibly by using the XDG desktop portals.
