Example of GNOME Menu showing Mount option

SUMMARY
When navigating to and browsing a network share in Dolphin, be it NFS/SMB/Etc,
Dolphin doesn't ever actually mount that share anywhere on the filesystem, and
appears to just be doing network browsing.   In GNOME, Nautilus and gio/gvfs
allow for mounting those network shares in userspace. 
(/run/user/UID/gvfs/protocol:server,sharename) that is predictable and the same
from mount to mount.

The closest thing we can do in plasma right now, is to use kio in the terminal,
which mounts the share in /run/user/UID/kio-$SOME_RANDOM_UID that changes every
time you mount it, and doesn't integrate with Dolphin.

I'm including screenshots from GNOME, just as an example of the desired
behavior.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Dolphin
2. Navigate to a Network Share
3. Attempt to find a method to mount those shares in userspace

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin does not have a mechanism in place, that I can find, to mount network
shares to the filesystem, in userspace (or anywhere else, for that matter)

EXPECTED RESULT
A Right-Click Mount option, or something in the menu allowing network shares to
be mounted to the filesystem
