Changing default XDB browser w/o GNOME etc.

Hello, dear lazynet, I have a problem and I am not sure which is the best approach to tackle it. Observation: various programs use the XDG mechanism (freedesktop configuration method) to start a specific browser to visit a hyperlink. Easy to verify with the xdg-open tool. But how can I change th
