That could be. See next comment.

If I leave Dolphin open when I log out of Plasma desktop, upon logging back
in Dolphin is restored with all my open tabs and each location within the
split views of those tabs remembered as well. It even remembers which tab
was active. So not only is window size and position remembered, but many
details of the Dolphin session are remembered. Since this can be done when
logging out of the desktop, my preferred solution is to find where that
info is stored, make a copy of it with a "session name" and then load it
manually on demand. I assume I might have to use the dbus scripting hint
provided below by stephen to accomplish this. However, I guess the first
obstacle is finding there this Dolphin session info is saved. I have not
been able to find it yet.

Thanks stephen. Where can I learn more about scripting Dolphin in this way?
