runners: same .so, different configs?

[Sebastian Kügler]

Hi,

I'm planning to merge the wikipedia search plugin into KDE for 4.4. The plugin is 
basically a MediaWiki search class, with its URL pointed to Wikipedia.

I'd like to make it more generic, though. What I envision is installing the plugin 
once, and then have one desktop file per service we want to query, the desktop file 
basically says "use this plugin, use that URL", so there's some kind of initial 
config attached to a plugin. Adding search for techbase or userbase (or any other 
mediawiki) would mean merely providing a .desktop file pointing to the URL of that 
particular MediaWiki instance. I *guess* it's possible, but don't really know where 
to start looking. The same pattern (generic .so, config in the .desktop file) can 
probably be applied to other things as well.

What magic in .desktop files is needed for this?
