Hey,

I think it would make most sense to have the relevant application opened up to 
display the contact, mail, event, and I suppose the simples solution is to add 
a command line argument taking an akonadi url.

Alternatively we could create a PIM-data viewer which could display the item 
read-only and only fire up the full application if it's required to edit etc. 
I'm not sure if the advantages would be large enough though, and opening the 
item in the main application is in any case required at some point.

So I think we should add the command line arguments to korganizer and 
kaddressbook (and kmail if required). I'm not in favor of opening whole 
Kontact everytime although that would also be an option.

Cheers,
Christian
