I've observed the same behavior with Anki, a Qt application; when a link
is clicked, the following message is printed in the terminal (and the
link isn't opened, of course):

qt: Launch failed (/gnu/store/bi4m86lripz4fhhi4c34ylg5ckxsrqzs-xdg-utils-1.1.3/bin/xdg-open https://ankiweb.net/[...])

I only installed Anki a few hours ago, but did run 'guix gc' recently
(with a delete-generations argument of 1-3 months, IIRC).

ripgrep was unable find that hash mentioned under ~/.cache or ~/.local
(in ASCII/UTF-8 or UTF-16{LE,BE} encodings; UTF-32 appears to be
unsupported).

Thanks to Tobias Geerinckx-Rice for sharing some debugging suggestions.
