If not, maybe we should add the column into the DolphinModel instead and move it to kdelibs later. The maintainer of KFileItemDelegate is Fredrik Höglund, hopefully he can give us his point of view to this topic.

Well, at least the file dialog may make use of it. Then there are apps like SemBrowser. I think it makes sense to get it into kdelibs. I even think it would be great to have protocol-dependant defaults for the details. This, of course, is mainly of interest for search results where the local path should be on by default.

A simple solution is to add the path (or URL) as an additional property to show in the KDirModel. This patch provides exactly that (followed by a patch for Dolphin as soon as accepted).
