I think this'll be something to do with mime.types

https://discourse.nixos.org/t/add-custom-xdg-mime-type/48493

Can be done by creating a custom mime type / package and running update-mime-database

Alternatively, can make it declarative in a package

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/nixos/modules/config/xdg/mime.nix
https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-unstable/pkgs/by-name/sh/shared-mime-info/package.nix

Can create an xml package for it in /usr/share/mime/packages
In a package declaration this would be $out/usr/share/mime/packages/package.xml

An example of a valid mime xml spec can be found at https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/XDG_MIME_Applications#New_MIME_types

The type would use a glob search pattern of *youtube.com* or something similar

Once this is merged https://github.com/futo-org/Grayjay.Desktop/pull/913

I can just update the Grayjay Package with the fix, and use a url redirector plugin to implement this.
