Ok, I see. I think this is a point where the fact that Konqueror is both 
a file manager and a browser is not the best thing. In a browser one 
expects that every path is converted to a file:/// URL, and this way 
anchors work there (just try Firefox for example), while in a file 
manager one would expect that a file is accessed.
 Whatever, thankfully people usually don't type such entries in the 
location bar too often.
