xdg-utils doesn't know how to process every schema; it has never heard
of zoommtg. If you install a program that connects to a Zoom meeting
then it may register itself as the handler for the zoommtg schema.
For example, /usr/share/applications/Zoom.desktop exists here.
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Zoom
Comment=Zoom Video Conference
Exec=/usr/bin/zoom %U
Icon=Zoom.png
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Encoding=UTF-8
Categories=Network;Application;
StartupWMClass=Zoom
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/zoommtg;application/x-zoom;
X-KDE-Protocols=zoommtg
Name[en_US]=Zoom
And that's been picked up in one of the files that's consulted.
$ grep zoommtg /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache
x-scheme-handler/zoommtg=Zoom.desktop;

Cheers, Ralph.
