The context menu is not very discoverable, and if a category is hidden, there's no indication that there's even anything to show. Here's how macOS finder handles this, for comparison (it's an animated gif; click to see it):

  This was our first option but due the impossibility of break the ABI, we will need to implement the hole functionality using a QListView which will require a lot of code change and some workarounds. 
  In my opinion the ideal would be derive the KPlacesView from another view (QTreeView, KCategoryView or something very specific like dolphin does), but as mentioned before we do not want to break the ABI.
  In any case this can be done after.
