I don't see this as mixing up thing.  I simply added a folder: "Local" 
to my BookMark toolbar.

You can get your network folders in Konqueror either with: "Go -> 
System" and select: "Network Folders".  Or, with: "Go -> Network Folders".

Note that I might have renamed these but they are still there.

This sounds good to me.

I would suggest implementing this as a KIO URL like: "system:/documents" 
only it would be a virtual directory that you could configure the 
contents.  Then you could add it to the "Navigation Panel" or use it 
elsewhere.
