I don't understand all of your questions but lemme try to answer in general. 
You can make a kio-slave to access about any information and subsequently 
represent that information in a specific way. When you do that all _KDE_ 
applications will be able to access that information, not unlike as if it 
where a normal file. 

By using "kfmclient" you can start any non-KDE applications with any URL that 
a KDE application will understand. kfmclient will then download this URL 
first and then feed it into the application via the command line. 

Given the above description I don't think it is possible to access such URLs 
over samba subsequently without some major hacking.

Cheers,
Waldo
