- Closes#19030
When `%U` is used in desktop entries, file managers pick this and use
it:
- When you right-click a file and choose "Open with..."
- When you drag and drop files onto an application icon

Adding it to CLI args, changes Flatpak desktop entry `Exec` from:
```diff
- Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=master --arch=x86_64 --command=zed dev.zed.ZedDev --foreground
+ Exec=/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=master --arch=x86_64 --command=zed --file-forwarding dev.zed.ZedDev --foreground @@u %U @@
```
This is Flatpak's way of doing `%U`, by adding `--file-forwarding` and
wrapping arg with `@@u` and `@@`.
Read more below
([source](https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/flatpak-command-reference.html)):
> --file-forwarding
>
> If this option is specified, the remaining arguments are scanned, and
all arguments that are enclosed between a pair of '@@' arguments are
interpreted as file paths, exported in the document store, and passed to
the command in the form of the resulting document path. Arguments
between "@@u" and "@@" are considered URIs, and any "file:" URIs are
exported. The exports are non-persistent and with read and write
permissions for the application.
Release Notes:
- Fixed Zed not visible in the "Open with" list in the file manager for
Flatpak.
