Why not, but what's the use case ?

gnome-open URI seems a more general way of doing this

Good thing to have, but it should live in gio, so that all apps having a
handle on that location (i.e. a fileselector, or a specialized widget)
are correctly notified.

Again why not, but I can't see the use case, except maybe for some
plugins.

Great, but I also would like to see and use this metadata in other apps
(e.g. be able to tag a song or a movie in a media player). Should it
live in gio also ?
