Now I understand your use case, but it really sounds more like a hack than the proper way of doing things. > I just wished the KDE devs would actually try a little harder to make > all this MIME type handling more consistent (and easier to > investigate) and to make the MIME types "all/all" and "all/allfiles" > behave as you would expect.

My guess is that a flag in dolphin's config in order to get you all the options would be just enough.
