As I said the last time you posted this about a year ago: If you have <br>
an HTML file on your local disk opened with Konqueror, and that HTML <br>
file has a <a href="path/to/file.txt">link like this</a>, you can <br>
right-click on that link and get a KDE menu where one of the choices is <br>
"Open with". Kate and kwrite are choices available here. While this is <br>
not a single-click solution, it's a heck of a lot easier than almost <br>
anything else anyone has mentioned.<br>

See above. When the HTML file and the files it's linking to are all on <br>
a local filesystem, as is the case here, the rules get relaxed.<br>
