Well, since you mentioned xdg-open specifically, you could try using
xdg-settings to specify which application you wish to use for URLs using
the `gemini` scheme, e.g.:

  xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler gemini <gemini-client>.desktop

where <gemini-client> should be replaced by the name of the relevant
client.

As an aside, there's also the `default-web-browser` setting:

  xdg-settings set default-web-browser firefox.desktop
