[Solved] Register https link handlers on a per site basis

Hi! I'm trying to find a solution to this issue and I'm not sure how to do it. I am I currently using Newsboat to fetch RSS feeds of YouTube channels, the open button in newsboat opens the link in firefox, as it should since its the defaults handler for https. What i'm wondering is how I could change handling per site, in essance so I could open YouTube links in mpv without going through a web browser, while also keeping the default https handler alone. What would be the best way to do this? Thanks!

Wow, I actually set this option earlier and didn't think about using this with mpv, thanks so much!

I did not meant setting the browser option to mpv, but to some application that will decide what action to take: either run mpv or open a browser.

Gotcha, I just use RSS for YouTube, so this works just as well, thanks!
