We have that for quite some time already (KDE 2.x?) and nobody uses it and it 
is broken half of the time because it doesn't get tested.

E.g. if you have a gzip file you can use URLs like
	file:/home/bastian/desktop_shadow.png.gz#gunzip:

If anything, I would like to remove it for KDE 4.

Cheers,
Waldo
