First it must be noted that GNUstep currently only supports file URLs 
here. And for files the normal mechanism of openFile: is applied. That 
is you need to register an application for a specific file type and that 
will be used to open the file. GWorkspace has, as far as I know, nothing 
to do with this.

If you want to start to work on removing the limitation to file URLs, 
you will need to extend the way NSApplication/GSServiceManager work with 
files.
