overwrites symlinks

I have my dotfiles in a separate folder and I symlink some files, for instance ~/.config/mimeapps.list . At first it appears as a symlink, then I run the following command: "xdg-mime default qutebrowser.desktop text/html" and the symlink gets overwritten as its own file.

I wonder if the attached oneliner could be merged ?
