Bug description
When double clicking a Windows executable, nothing happens no matter the app set as default (both wine and the archive manager)
Steps to reproduce
From what I can tell: get a windows executable, install Wine via the software manager, right click->open with and set a custom "wine" command as the new default". It should execute perfectly fine, but after closing it again, the executable should no longer respond to a double click, no matter the application selected
Expected behavior
The executable should run in wine when double clicked (or having the Open option selected), just like when Open With is used.

No source file or test is named. First reproduce the issue on Mint 22 Cinnamon with Wine configured as the default, then compare double-click or Open with the Open With behavior described in the report. Done means a Windows executable launches in Wine through both actions.
