Opening file in separate window using bookmark

[Jeffrey Barish]

I posted a message several days ago asking for advice on how to set up
bookmarks so that a file opened from the bookmark toolbar opens in the
appropriate application rather than in an embedded viewer:

I wanted to add that the problem I observe happens with other file types --
kwd (kword) and txt (kwrite) -- not just ksp (kspread).  It's hard to
believe that Konqueror is hard-wired to open files in an embedded viewer
considering that almost nothing appears to be hard-wired.  Furthermore, I'm
pretty sure that it didn't used to work this way.
