Hello! A while ago, I was looking for a way to have bubblewrap'd programs open files and URLs outside their container, and stumbled upon the Snap project's snapd-xdg-open:
https://github.com/snapcore/snapd-xdg-open This package consists of two parts, a client program and a Dbus daemon. The client program is installed in the container in place of the standard xdg-open program, and forwards requests to the daemon via Dbus, which will then fulfill them by opening the URLs outside the container. Today, that project is discontinued, as its functionality has been folded into the snapd daemon. However, snapd-xdg-open still remains useful for Bubblewrap. I've created an AUR package and written up a bit of documentation on the Arch Linux wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bubblewrap#Opening_URLs_from_wrapped_applications I've submitted a few small improvements, which were understandably rejected as the project was due to be archived. It was suggested on IRC that I maintain a fork of the project, which I am happy to do. I also understood that, perhaps, there could be interest in hosting the project under the same namespace as Bubblewrap itself. @Son_Goku graciously did the initial cleanup and "rebranding" (to avoid namespace conflicts with the origin project): https://pagure.io/xdg-open-gateway @dustymabe suggested to ask the list, so, here we are :)
