Fwd: idea for a KDE UI feature

[Thomas Zander]

Windows accepts files in the taskbar and does te same action when you drop the
file on the application icon (the actuall .exe)
This mostly is a simply open.

So you would simply forward the request to an open-with-dropped-on-application
style call IMO.
