I don't know Gnome at all. But the %U is documented here: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#exec-variables where it says: "A number of special field codes have been defined which will be expanded by the file manager or program launcher when encountered in the command line." %U is one of the special field codes shown in the table there. According to the sentence I quoted above, the file manager or program launcher is supposed to provide the expansion of %U. I know nothing about that.
