The feature request would need to be for the browser that saved the page as an
html file and an adjacent folder. It could create a folder and save the items
within, or it could save the page as a single file.

There is no reliable way for Dolphin to know that the folder and the html file
are associated. The only way to do this in Dolphin would be to employ a
heuristic that needs to be kept in sync with the browser that saved the page.
If the developers of that browser change their minds about how page saving
works, Dolphin would need to support both the "old" way(s) and the "new" way.
Each browser uses its own convention for saving pages, and thus Dolphin would
need a heuristic for each of them. This is not sustainable.
