Yes.

Huh ? Certainly not. kfmexec is for something completely different
(downloading a remote file for opening with a non-network-transparent
application, and asking for reupload when the edit is finished...).

If you've registered your ioslave, and if I assume the above
is meant to be done in an iconview or treeview, all you need to do
is type the URL in konqueror, and the kioslave should start,
and give back to konqy what it finds out...
