@miketaylr: About your snippet to get the handler of an extension:
Is there a way to get the installation path of an handler?
For example: I want to know where the executable of OpenSCAD is. All I know is the file extension. With your snippet I would know the name of the handler, but I need to know where the executable is, so I can run a CLI command.
Thanks!

@wolfpat01 You have probably found out this already, but for other people who might be interested in the same thing: this can be achieved by using Hammerspoon with URLDispatcher extension. Not related to a Python script, but might be useful for some people to know. In addition to that, URLs there can be configured in a flexible manner with the help of regular expressions. Please pay attention that once configures you will need to set Hammerspoon as your default browser for using the aforementioned extension properly.
if you are getting "module not found" run this in your terminal:
pip install pyobjc-framework-LaunchServices
