I'm trying to open BlueJean after a link in my browser. I get prompted if I wanted to let xdg-open open an application for the url, I agree and click the button. However, the right app is not opened and a default app opens up doing nothing. Basically, a new window is opened for my browser as the the link passed is basically an url.
The error shown on console is
/usr/bin/xdg-open: 800: : Permission denied
Opening in existing browser session.
[177214:177214:0224/132020.005501:ERROR:CONSOLE(1)] "[Shields]: Can't request shields panel data. Error: No tab url specified", source: chrome-extension://mnojpmjdmbbfmejpflffifhffcmidifd/out/brave_extension_background.bundle.js (1)
I'm not sure what is being denied, everyone has execution access to /usr/bin/xdg-open and the application.

I tried stracing the browser when I open it in a shell but nothing useful comes up.
Maybe this would also be useful
❱ cat /usr/share/applications/bluejeans-v2.desktop

Thanks in advance
Basically what happened was that there was no default application to the mime type, and a default browser was trying to open it.
To solve the problem all I had to do was:
cp /usr/share/applications/bluejeans-v2.desktop ~/.local/share/applications
And now x-scheme-handler/bjnb would open with bluejeans.
