Just by reading the title, I’m sold! This should be very useful specially if you are not using a desktop environment that manages the default apps.

I always alias open to xdg-open, it’s so useful to open a file directly from the terminal.

That was the exact reason for it. I made my own window manager for fun and was missing a simple way of changing default apps.
