AFAIK is this a feature from ark. War-files, the web-archives have this also.

I hope someone could code this for desktop-files with an url inside
also in near
future. This allow a better integration of kio-slaves.

Hehe, yes. I thought also, a mime-like config for kio-slaves and
extensions like this above could be a real usability-jump for kde.

As i remember, there exist a bug at bugs.kde.org which clear this
point in the feature and allow the configuration whether an archive
should be handle as a dir or only as file.
