The generic MIME type handler application for KDE would be kfmclient
#> kfmclient exec file/url
will launch the application associated with the MIME type of the given file or 
URL

If the MIME type is known beforehand, it can be supplied as an additional 
parameter

#> kfmlclient exec file/url mimetype

Cheers,
Kevin
