That's the best way to do it. However, some programs tend to override the user's choices for default URL handlers.

The proper UI is to show a pop-up menu (in your app's prefs) of applications that handle this scheme, with the current default one selected, and let the user pick. That's what Safari, iChat, Mail, etc. all do.
