Screenshot showing matches for 'konsole'

Right now, it is only possible to use the "Run as a different user" feature in krunner when using the match of the binary name, e.g.

Type: konsole
Go to the entry which is provided for the matching binary name
Click the wrench icon (which is missing a tooltip)
Select the "Run as a different user option"
etc.

See the attached screenshot for an example.

What should be possible:
Type: konso
Go to one of the entries which are provided for matching desktop files
Click the wrench icon
etc.

The problem right now:
- one always needs to type the full binary name to be able to use this feature
- need to scroll down below until the binary match to make use of this feature
- from the end-user perspective, there should be no difference between running a program via a desktop or binary match from krunner
