Using URL[$e] (at least for new shortcuts) will make the format more standardized. The new standard way of doing this (at least known to work in KDE) is by using [$e] to enable environment variables:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Link
URL[$e]=$HOME/Documents/unnumbered/Spirits of Namaman.png
The separate mimetype will still be necessary for the following cases:
For cross-platform compatibility (such as when using Nextcloud)
When using ~ to represent HOME
When using variables when on windows.
The following doesn't work according to standards, but for backward compatibility with older versions of blnk, it could be forced to work:
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Link
URL=$HOME/Documents/unnumbered/Spirits of Namaman.png
fails since [$e] is required to enable environment variables
