I'd prefer to have a .desktop file that works without any helper

use quoting here?
Here's another strategy for handling this, inspired by org-protocol[1].
For those who haven't used it, org-protocol invokes emacsclient with an
"org-protocol://..." URL to let you do things like capture text from
another application.
Extending from that, what if Emacs introduced URL handlers, so that these:
emacs mailto:foo@bar.com
emacsclient mailto:foo@bar.com
would look up a "mailto:" handler defined somewhere in Emacs[2] (e.g.
'message-mailto') and call that function instead of 'find-file'. This is
roughly how the org-protocol module handles this, although it only works
for emacsclient (it adds advice to a few functions from server.el).
This would be less flexible than having a generic way of feeding certain
command-line arguments to an Emacs Lisp function, but I'm not sure what
practical uses we'd need that for aside from handling URLs, as in this
bug or for org-protocol. If there are some other uses people have for
the more-flexible implementation, I think it would help to list those so
we can be sure the chosen solution addresses them.
