The desktop file format specification implies you can just add an extra
context entry. For reference, the full specification is here:
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/latest/
Something like this seems like what the spec suggests:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Notmuch Emacs Client
GenericName=Email Client
Comment=Emacs based email client
Exec=emacs -f notmuch
Icon=emblem-mail
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Network;Email;
[Create Message]
Name=Notmuch Emacs Create Message
Exec=notmuch-emacs-mua %u
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/mailto;
However, this did not seem to work when I tried it out in my gnome
session. I'm pretty sure creating two separate desktop files
(duplicating some of the fields) would work.
