Ok. It was your talk of 'designating' certain apps as either Linux or Wine that confused me. As I said I don't launch other programs from K4PC or ADE.

But to return to the point of your original question, since I'm now at my home PC and have tested it, I can confirm that if I click on a menu item in K4PC that launches a URL it uses the Linux default browser to do so. This is the one set by xdg-settings/the one that xdg-open uses. Mine is Chrome but I switched to Firefox and that worked too.

But I don't blame you for being wary of Wine. Last time I tried to install ADE I failed and what I'm using now is the whole prefix dir restored from a backup.

That wariness is also why I expressed surprise at someone running Calibre under Wine when IMO they don't need to. But to each his own.
