Yep. The use case is following: magnet links are used by absolutely different applications: 1) Torrent (ktorrent) 2) DC++ (eiskaltdcpp) 3) eDonkey
Every application uses magnet links, but! Magnet links for every app are different. ktorrent can't handle links for dc++. The problem is that currently only one app at a time can handle ALL magnet links. So now when i clicking on a magnet link for dcpp - it opens in ktorrent. And this is a problem. If i'll change default app (kde doesn't allow me to do this, thanks got we have xdg-mime) to dcpp-client - every torrent magnet link will be tried to be opened in dcpp-client. The solution for this is to use 3rd script that will handle links properly. But i what a good native support for this in kde.
