Samuel, I think, firefox does exactly what it can find in MIME 
associations (e.g. ~/.config/mimeapps.list) and in the .desktop file of 
the selected application.

There is an emacsclient.desktop file in Emacs git master that tries to 
connect to the existing Emacs session. It is a relatively new addition, 
so packages for Linux distributions may miss it.

You can either use standard Emacs initialization to get all your 
customization available through default emacs.desktop or create a custom 
.desktop file that contain all CLI options specific to your setup.
