It was the initial idea long ago, but after discussion with Jowenn he added
X-KDE-LocalProtocol to the mimetypes instead.

For instance the mimetype application/x-tar has a property X-KDE-LocalProtocol
set to "tar" (see kdelibs/mimetypes/application/x-tar.desktop)

So the konq_mainwindow code would be like 

if ( url.isLocalFile() )
{
  KServiceType::Ptr ptr = KServiceType::serviceType( serviceType );
  if ( ptr ) 
  {
     const QString protocol = ptr->property("X-KDE-LocalProtocol").toString();
     if ( !protocol.isEmpty() )
     {
         url.setProtocol( protocol );
         url.setPath( url.path() + '/' );        // TODO: for *.war files we want "/index.html". New property?
         serviceType = "inode/directory"; // would be text/html for *.war files...
     }
   }
}

Please test, it should work :)
Don't forget to add this to your mimetype .desktop file:

[Property::X-KDE-LocalProtocol]
Type=QString
Value=mht

Hmm, it looks like x-zip.desktop is missing it...
