1. Thank you for finding user-side workaround for this.

I would say more, this workaround is just undiscoverable for a user.

Even with your guidance I not immediately discovered that the "Group" list
selector can accept the random text (aka `x-scheme-handler`) into itself (and
not raise an error on Apply) and that it draws & populates the relevant
information out of nowhere. One who can deduct this solution himself - is a
person who knows the code of the Plasma applications and knows how XDG
standards implemented in Plasma to even be able to deduct it.

2. This solution also does not solve the other half of the question - how user
can see what `x-scheme-handler`s are registered.

Also that this question is still unsolved, shows that "Favorite apps" is not
the place to present `x-scheme-handler` information, true maybe only for
`magnet` links. Since that is the place only for the most crucial stuff. I
think that `x-scheme-handler` information should be gathered and presented in
the System Settings > Applications > File Associations > x-scheme-handler as
all other MIME types do present there.

I would be happy with any solution to this, as I want to be able to register
and manage `x-scheme-handler`s easily.
