Several built-in Wine programs are badly behaved in the sense that
they associate themselves with file types that native desktop programs
are better suited to open.

The word "extension" is problematic because the naughty list includes
both extensions (which start with a dot) and protocols (which do not).
How about "FileOpenNoIntegration"?
