Howto create a konqueror file property extension

I am trying to create my first add-on to konqueror.  Using existing service 
menu ".desktop" files, I was able to create a simple service menu to display 
the id3 tags of a MP3 file.

Two problems: First I was able to make it an action. I think I would like to 
make it a preview, not action (action to me implies altering the file).

Second, I would much rather it appear as a tab on the properties for the file.

I looked at the KDE homepage, under "Develop".  I found guides for embedding 
applications into konqueror, but not a description of .desktop files, and 
creating menu items.

So the questions are: Can I create a plug in for file properties?  And where 
is the documentation for .desktop files?

Thanks,
