SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a Windows shortcut ".lnk" to any folder
2. Open it inside dolphin

OBSERVED RESULT
Although Dolphin recognises it as a folder destination (when hovering the shortcut), it fails to open its path, giving an "Invalid protocol" error, possibly it interprets the path as a url (mistaking the drive letter as a protocol scheme) instead of a local path.

EXPECTED RESULT
Dolphin should open the destination directory.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11
Dolphin 23.07.70
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.104.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8

It is just a regular shortcut file. To reproduce it, you can create a folder on Desktop then create a shortcut to it via Windows Explorer.
