Nice, this is something that was present in KDE 3 I believe.

You may wish to look at the Device Actions editor in System Settings,
which provides an interface to create Solid Predicates. It knows about
all possible combinations for devices. The types Storage Access,
Storage Drive and Storage Volume are likely to be most helpful, in
particular their properties.

Please make sure to use Trunk, since it is more enhanced compared to
the previous version.
Storage Access appears to have a property "File Path" which seems to
be what you are looking for.

However you may find that the Udi will be of more help
