Example of Open Shell behavior

On Windows, I use an extension called Open Shell which lets me expand folders by clicking anywhere in their row. See the attached image for an example.

The larger clickable area means you don’t have to be as precise with the mouse compared to clicking the small “+”, which in turn lets you reach your desired folder more quickly. Maybe something similar could be added to Dolphin?

Of course, this behavior would not be for everyone, so the most I’d ask here is a checkbox for opting into it.
