You mean when listing items from that ioslave?
We should add support for protocol-specific servicemenus, I almost did it for kio_trash already...

Yep.

I lack context (XML file?)

No :) A slave is "simple and stupid", and runs in another process...

It uses a part to actually render a given file, of a given mimetype.
That's not your case, right? Your kioslave can give out any type of file?

Please take a look at the servicemenu tutorial (http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/dot/servicemenus.html).
If this could solve a problem provided that X-KDE-Protocol=myslave was supported,
I will add support for that.
