I don't know Gnome at all. But the %U is documented here:
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#exec-variables
where it says:
"A number of special field codes have been defined which will be
expanded by the file manager or program launcher when encountered
in the command line."
%U is one of the special field codes shown in the table there.
According to the sentence I quoted above, the file manager
or program launcher is supposed to provide the expansion of %U.
I know nothing about that.
