Excellent idea. In fact, URLArgs already has this:
  /**
   * Meta-data to associate with the next KIO operation
   * @see KIO::TransferJob etc.
   */
  QMap<QString, QString> &metaData();

All you need to do, is to set the referrer into the args, it will get used.

But this doesn't fix DnD nor "save as" (copyJob doesn't care about urlargs).
For DnD: what about a similar QMap (metadata) in a drag object (not necessarily
KURLDrag itself... most app don't care about metadata, do they ?).
This would be more generic than just a referrer field.
