Usually xdg-mime command should return correct results. For example:
For your case you first need to know mime type of file in question. Assuming you
don't know what that is:
$ xdg-mime query filetype abcd.pdf 
application/pdf

And then you can do:
$ xdg-mime query default application/pdf
evince.desktop

xdg-mime can be used to change the default as well. Then it just depends on
applications if they honor xdg or not.
