Configure Brave to use Transmission for magnet links?

Browser Support Desktop Support

Yes, I know Brave can handle BitTorrent internally using WebTorrent. However, my workflow is designed to use Transmission (on Ubuntu Linux). I can turn off WebTorrent in the Brave settings. With that done, when I click on a magnet link I get a dialog “Open xdg-open?” When I click on the “Open xdg-open” button the magnet link is passed on to Transmission as that is the default application established in Ubuntu.

My question is… How do I configure Brave to always pass the magnet link to xdg-open (which will then pass it to Transmission)?

TIA,

Ken
