--- Comment #3 from Harish Rajagopal <harish.rajagopals at gmail.com> ---
I found a workaround to this. I created a new script to export any environment
variables and control the "%s" options passed to exo-open. The contents are as
follow:

  #!/usr/bin/bash
  export WINIT_HIDPI_FACTOR=1
  if [ -z "$*" ]; then
      alacritty
  else
      alacritty -e $@
  fi

By passing the path to the script in the Preferred Applications GUI, I now have
a workaround to the absence of desktop file support in the GUI. The only
missing thing is an nice icon the GUI, but I'm not bothered by it.
