a thing that would come natural to me for it to use is if you try to
open some weird file format from dolphin, no viewer/editors installed
but there are available in the repositories.
this could be a quite common situation (i don't expect to have things
for rarely used files installed by default), and save significant
hassle of googling what on earth can open this kind of file.
