I hope, this time it works.** * `sudo cp /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list /home/user/.config/mimeapps.list` * `sudo sed -i "s/=.*/=open_in_dispvm.desktop;/g" /home/user/.config/mimeapps.list`

**Edit: I forgot that the changes would not survive a VM restart. I updated the steps below to fix this.** **Please note: While the following steps worked for me I know of at least one other Qubes installation in which they somehow didn't work. I currently don't know why this happens, but if someone else experiences some issues we could maybe debug this together.**
* `sudo cp /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list /etc/xdg/mimeapps.list` * `sudo sed -i "s/=.*/=open_in_dispvm.desktop;/g" /etc/xdg/mimeapps.list` * `sudo cp /usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list /home/user/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list` * `sudo sed -i "s/=.*/=open_in_dispvm.desktop;/g" /home/user/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list`
