Don't know. ;) Here are some ideas though. Right now, how is the
determination made whether the app should receive a full file:/// url or
just a absolute local path? It could be similar.

Maybe the .desktop file could (and should) have a HotplugExec entry,
with some substitution such as %d (device path), %u (udi) or %m (mount
point).

Maybe there could be a standard format to pass a device specification
string to an app: $udi,$dev,$mount.

Of all of them I like the first and second best.
