In case of local files/folders, yes.

There's exo-preferred-applications.html, which documents exo-open. But
not the internals (as the internals are subject to change, and not
really usable to most users). The best source of information about the
internals is still the code in exo-url.c (it contains a lot of comments
and should in general be easy enough to read).

Hm, the interesting question remains: What does Opera use to open local
files/folders? xdg-open would be logical, but if its not available...
