You should be able to work around this by creating a short script 
that would look something like:

cd place_to_run_app;./app app_agrs

You would then make the kdelnk run the script.  It's a bt clumsy.  I 
like your idea nad hope it's implemented in a future release, but 
something like this should see you through for now.
