3. open Kickoff, click on 'Places' on bottom, observe 'Remote' section under 'Computer'.

This can't be done, because any code to detect mounted network shares would involve querying them which could cause the system to hang if the mount's network location isn't available.

Don't mount network shares as local folders. :) Use KIO-enabled apps and kio-fuse.

Oh, unless we already do so in Dolphin without causing any problems as your screenshot shows. So yeah we should re-use the same data.
