khelpcenter fails to open GTK apps' help documentation

GTK apps use yelp tool to view their help doc, but on Plasma desktop it seems
that khelpcenter is automatically opened when you click on help/doc/manual
entry menu in any GTK app (like EasyEffects, Gnucash, Meld...), and the problem
is that KDE viewer is unable to open or view those GTK help files.

GTK apps seems to use some sort of .xml and .page file for their docs, while
KDE apps use HTML files.

If we remove khelpcenter then yelp is correctly opened from any GTK app, but
KDE apps launch the default browser to view their docs.

The problem is that there are no settings in Plasma to set khelpcenter for KDE
apps and yelp for GTK apps.

Operating System: Manjaro Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.114.0
Qt Version: 5.15.12
