I don't know how easy or difficult this would be to implement, but I can see this being worth considering.

Are you suggesting the detached terminal still be a dolphin dependent window ?
Or a full fledged konsole window ? (that would be impossible)

What should happen when the user opens a different folder in dolphin, should the terminal window be kept in sync.

It seems to me, you are expecting too much of dolphin terminal, if you need very long running tasks in a terminal, using a real emulator terminal would be the best way to go.
We have a feature to copy to clipboard the current path to easily paste it outside of dolphin.

I think you're right.

Is there a status "won't fix" or something similar?

Yep, I'll mark this appropriately. Thanks for your understanding.
