I was actually going to suggest resolutions to these issues, but in an ironic
twist, I learned there's already a very similar feature in KDE, it's just not
discoverable! Apparently, middle-clicking text files will open them in KWrite
instead of my default text editor.

In addition to discoverability, the current implementation isn't configurable.
(What if I don't want to use KWrite?) I'd suggest killing two birds with one
stone by adding a second column to the "default apps" picker, which lets you
set the secondary action (e.g. editor) for MIME types that happens on a
middle-click.
