Changes

Submitted with commit 77af7adc62fc184a09356eeeb58655d70f7f5f96 by Kai Uwe Broulik to branch master.

Bugs: 339750
    https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339750

Repository: plasma-desktop

Description
-------

This adds support for "Additional applications actions" (aka Jumplists).

Jumplists are supplemental actions an application can offer, such as "Open New Tab" or "Open New Incognito Tab" or "Pause Music", jump directly into a certain part of an application "Downloads", or in case of LibreOffice go directly to a specific document editor (Text, Impress, etc)

More information can be found in the linked bug report.

Testing
-------

LibreOffice now offers jump lists to me, unfortunately hardly any application I have installed uses them. Konsole, for some reason, has a "New Window" option. LibreOffice launcher allows to jump directly into a specific editor. My really old Chromium install has some actions (none of my recent Chrome installs have it, they only have X-Ayatana-Desktop-Shortcuts).

The actions are only offered for pinned launchers. I would love to have them also on regular task manager entries. Once we start using them in more applications, they could provide some handy shortcuts, even if the app is already running. (Usability?)
