Have you tried `dcop amarok playlist playMedia UrlToFile ?

I could see how the function you are suggesting would be useful but at the 
same time it probably makes sense to wait until 2.0 to add it (1.4 is 
bugfix-only at this point).  You may want to wait until amarok2 gets into 
beta (or if you are feeling adventurous you can try and build it now 
following http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/2.0_Development_HowTo ).
