Ah, in fact I did try.  I assume you're talking about

  Desktop > Preferences > More Preferences > Preferred Applications

Not a lot of suggestion on how this might be done here.

I also looked up information on launching firefox from the console to
see if it could be done with a custom command.  Again, not a lot of
information suggesting you could modify this behavior.

I'd welcome your feedback, but I still think that having clicked links
open on another desktop in one of possibly dozens of browser windows
isn't a sane default for handling links.
