Thanks for the response and suggestion.
 From eshell,
      λ xdg-open file.txt
exits immediately, without opening file.txt, and
      λ cat | xdg-open file.txt | cat
shows the same behavior, but
      λ setsid -w xdg-open file.txt
opens the file as expected.

Is this with Emacs 28 or 29? In 29, `cat | xdg-open file.txt | cat` should work as expected (I hope).

If it doesn't, then the solution I had in mind (make `xdg-open` use a pipe for its IO) probably wouldn't work, leaving us back at square one for this bug...
