looks like you explicitly asked for trouble here ... :)

adding xdg-open (via xdg-utils) will replace/override the xdg-open that
is already shipped in the core snap (which is a dbus service that hands
the url to the outside of the confined space). first of all drop the
xdg-utils line above and see if it works then, this should at least
allow the app to hand it to the outside of the confined area.

that said, it might be that snapd-xdg-open needs to learn about exo-
open (or the other way around) as well to be able to handle the request
on the desktop side ...
