well, not until tomorrow, no ;-)

But in principle this should be not-so-difficult, doing:
1) Add a dbus interface to RKWard, which allows to tell RKWard to open some 
link. We even had this at one point (as the way for R to tell RKWard to open a 
help page), but it was obsoleted and removed (while porting to KDE4?).
2) A small wrapper (might even be possible to handle this inside the existing 
startup wrapper) to check whether an instance of RKWard is already registered 
on DBus. If so - see 1). Otherwise start RKWard.
3) The protocol file.

Regards
Thomas
