I know that

GFile *g_file_new_for_path(const gchar *path);

GAppInfo *g_file_query_default_handler(GFile *file,GCancellable *cancellable,GError **error);

gboolean g_app_info_launch(GAppInfo *appinfo,GList *files,GAppLaunchContext *launch_context,GError **error);

Create a GFile and get its default handler,then launch it
g_app_info_launch will return TRUE if success
