SUMMARY
I will describe here 2 issues, but the source seems to be the same. 
Issue 1: I wanted to create a symlink in /var/lib/libvirt/images to
/home/damglador/Games/libvirt-images, Dolphin couldn't do that. 
Issue 2: Copy path in "Open as Administrator" also copies admin://

ISSUE 1 STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open /opt as Administrator
2. Try to create a symlink from it to any folder

ISSUE 1 OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin just can't do that. I assume because it includes admin:// in symlink
path

ISSUE 1 EXPECTED RESULT
Should just create the symlink

ISSUE 2 STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a folder as Administrator
2. Right-click on a file or folder and copy it's path

ISSUE 2 OBSERVED RESULT
It copies the path with admin:// at the beginning

ISSUE 2 EXPECTED RESULT
The copied path shouldn't contain admin://

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
What I got from copying path to /opt/discord in admin mode -
admin:///opt/discord
When symlink fails to create, it throws - Unable to create symlink to
admin:///opt/discord. Please check permissions (translation from Ukrainian)
Also when I open file picker in symlink create dialogue, selected folder or
file also has admin:// at the beggining
