Actually this subfolder seems to be reserved for the kioslave plugins. Maybe something like `$QT_PLUGIN_PATH/kf5/kio_fileitemaction`? This would be consistent with `$QT_PLUGIN_PATH/kf5/kio_dnd` where `KIO::DndPopupMenuPlugin` plugins [are supposed to be installed](https://api.kde.org/frameworks/kio/html/classKIO_1_1DndPopupMenuPlugin.html).
