Works for me. I created the following test HTML page in my home
directory:

<html>
<body>
<br><br><br><center>
<a href="somefile.txt">somefile.txt</a>
</body>
</html>

Then I browse to this html doc using Konq. When I click the link then
somefile.txt is immediately opened in kwrite.
This is KDE 3.2.2 on Fedora Core 1.
