SUMMARY

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Dolphin, set Background: Double-click triggers to "Open in Terminal".
2. Navigate to a remote location. In my case these are fish:// URLs, but I
suspect any non-file:/// URL would do. In this example:
"fish://sam-birch@buildvm:22/home/sam-birch/projects/linux/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/"
3. Double click on the background.
4. Run "pwd" in the terminal.

OBSERVED RESULT
"pwd" outputs "/home/sam-birch".

EXPECTED RESULT
"pwd" outputs
"/run/user/1000/kio-fuse-gPPzTW/fish/sam-birch at buildvm:22/home/sam-birch/projects/linux/arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip".

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It seems that Dolphin intends to disallow opening remote folders in Konsole,
since the "Open Terminal Here" context menu item is hidden for remote
locations. So my *guess* is that they just missed the background-double-click
"Open in Terminal". But *my* expectation is that Dolphin would know that
Konsole can't handle KIO URLs, so would translate it into a kio-fuse path and
pass *that* to Konsole.

I know Dolphin can do this, because the service menu entry supplied by Ghostty
works for remote locations. Here's the contents of
~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/com.mitchellh.ghostty.desktop on my system:

----8<-cut-here-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Service
ServiceTypes=KonqPopupMenu/Plugin
MimeType=inode/directory
Actions=RunGhosttyDir

[Desktop Action RunGhosttyDir]
Name=Open Ghostty Here
Icon=com.mitchellh.ghostty
Exec=ghostty --working-directory=%F --gtk-single-instance=false
----8<-cut-here-----------------------------------------------------------------

Note the use of %F rather than %U. If I'm in a remote location in Dolphin and
select "Open Ghostty Here" from the context menu, it opens in the kio-fuse
directory just fine.
