Problem is when you start dealing with remote content - at that point
you need mime-type as well, or you can go for:

gallery+http://host/path.png

What if you don't know/care what kind of app should handle, say, a
downloaded PDF file?

I basically think we need to be able to handle both URI and MIME,
depending on the use case.
