  @elvisangelaccio I think Emirald has a point here. What you refer to is perhaps better served by `xdg-open`, meaning that `--select` might ideally be only really relevant for folders in Dolphin's case.
  
  I'm aware that `dolphin -h` outputs this:
  
    Arguments:
      +[Url]                     Document to open
  
  However, for me this makes sense only for folders and zip files (i.e. "compressed folders"). Or am I missing a use case here?
