Lacking a standard for the script execution commandline interface of the terminals out in the wild we have to hardcode the parameters the terminals use. If you want to change this, vote on my pull request. If your terminal broke the command line interface in the past and you are on the old version you are out of luck. Thats why we need that standard. However for as long as this PR is not merged we have to maintain the hardcoded map of terminals to their arguments (if any).

The map currently resides in https://github.com/albertlauncher/albert-plugin-applications/blob/main/src/xdg/plugin.cpp#L31.

We need the name of the executable of your terminal and the (xterm -e compatible) argument that indicates that the remainder of the commandline should be interpreted as commandline to run in the terminal. Further the content of the desktop entry may help improving the heuristics currently applied to get the terminals covered.
