That's exactly what "nxfish" will be doing  :-)

The syntax will be a simple "nxfish:/" and it will auto-connect to a 
securely shared NX client-side directory named "NX-Share". 

On the NX client side, just put anything you want to share with the remote
session into that directory, including symlinks.

On the NX server side, "nxfish:/" in Konqueror (or in the FileOpen and the
SaveAs dialogs) will give you access to that directory.
