This is not for http://, https://, file:// links. This is specifically for microsoft-edge:// links, which I've never seen.

I think this applies only for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs).

FWIW seems to me that if you rename msedge.exe to somethingelse.exe, that those microsoft-edge links don't work any longer. I don't know if you can actually get it to open another browser (I tried renaming firefox.exe to msedge.exe without achieving the desired result) but at least you can stop it from opening Edge, if that's what you want.
