discord desktop file with scheme handler support

SUMMARY
if an app registers and x-scheme-handler mime type on their desktop file, and the urls for that app only include '-' on the hostname section, the handler will be ignored and the default web browser will be used instead.
discord is an example of this behavior, although they don't support it by default on Linux

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. put the attached file in $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications (might have to edit the exec to point to your discord install location)
2. make sure xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/discord returns discord.desktop
3. run kde-open "discord://-/settings/account"

OBSERVED RESULT
the url will be opened on the default web browser

EXPECTED RESULT
the discord app is opened on the settings page
