Some Nicholas Leipe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> recently asked this at the kde-user
mailing list. Maybe you should contact him, if he has got a solution for this
already.

There is an app called kexplorer which mimicks the behaviour of that MS one
quite good. You can get it at:
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/apps/multimedia/cdrom/kexplorer-0.1.tar.gz
As for the key bindings, I remember there was a thread recently on
comp.windows.x.kde. Maybe a search on dejanews (www.dejanews.com) will wield
some results.

It does: mark the URL in kfm with your mouse and then click with the middle
mouse button in the 'go to'-panel of Netscape.
