I'm suggesting to at least rename the argument to pathOrUrl to be clear about what it contains.
A path is not a URL.

I see, about the `chop()`. It is customary, however, to make a local copy where needed. For instance this will avoid the copy when the file exists (and we get to the early return, before the copy that you'll need only further down).

But then you can't do `kde-open5 www.google.fr` anymore, right?

I see what you mean with typo handling, but there is no perfect solution. Either we treat typos as URLs (but it means we also treat actual URLs as such), or we treat everything non-existing as a local file (breaking any use of short URLs). The latter is OK for kwrite, but not for the more general purpose kioclient / kde-open5.
