Because Dolphin is (logically) registered as a handler for the folder MIME type, it shows up as an option in Dolphin's own "Open With" context menu item. As a result, the context menu shows two two ways to open a folder in a new Dolphin window: - Right-click > Open in New Window - Right-click > Open With > Dolphin We might consider hiding Dolphin from the "Open With" menu to standardize on the "Open in New Window" and its companion "Open in New Tab" menu items.
But doesn't the latter spawn a new process?
Both of them do; each Dolphin window is its own process.

Thanks Kai! Any chance we could land this on the stable branch too, so it gets in for 18.04.0?
