As it happens I just discovered this yesterday, though it will depend on desktop
(kde/gnome/ etc) I use xfce.
For a long time for certain types of files (certain mime types), instead of
starting some editor (let alone emacs) it would start wine and call notepad!
The official app for that is xdg-open -- which I found completely impenetrable.
Yesterday I found that xfce uses exo-open which is linked to xfce4-mime-settings
Your desktop will have something similar
