Similar error occurs if your location is in URL format, copied using like so:

1. open right-click context menu on a file
2. Copy location: file:///home/myuser/Documents/test.txt
3. Go to another directory
4. Right-click -> Create New -> Link to file or directory -> paste file path
from clipboard (file:///home/myuser/Documents/test.txt)
5. Check that link name is prefilled OK, close dialog
6. Click on created link: test.txt

Observed:
"WorkingDirectory= expects an absolute path or '~' "

Expected:
File opens in editor (or other assigned app)

ADDTIONAL INFO:
removing the file:// prefix from the link location fixes it.

Dolphin should remove the prefix automatically, as the original file path was
obtained by right-clicking and copying the path in Dolphin. Currently the
behavior is 'asymmetrical'.
