Hi,
You can do:
1. put your .desktop files i~/.local/share/applications one of
   directories when are this files usually stored
   (i.e. ~/.local/share/applications)

or

2. Create in above directory file XdgOpen.desktop that runs xdg-open
   and set default default application for .desktop files to XdgOpen
   (in Kupfer, by selecting any .desktop file -> Set Default
   Application -> XdgOpen)

Regards,
Karol
