Okular can't find remote files when double clicked in Dolphin  #356

SUMMARY
Dolphin is possibly not passing file URLs to the flatpak of Okular . Opening PDF or image remote files via dolphin fails with error.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

  1. Install Okular from Flathub or Fedora Flatpaks
  2. Open Dolphin, connect to SMB or Webdav share
  3. Double Click on a remote PDF or image
  4. Get error box.

OBSERVED RESULT
Okular is unable to open the specified file associations when they are on a remote server provided by Dolphin. Timothée Ravier over on Fedora Discussion speculated that file URLs were not passed by Dolphin. https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/can-no-longer-open-files-with-okular-or-gwenview-on-a-dolphin-remote-share-smb-webdav-f39-kinoite/96788

Konsole output for SMB Connection.
Cannot initialize model with data QJsonObject(). missing: QJsonValue(string, “urls”)
QString::arg: 2 argument(s) missing in org.kde.okular
kf.kio.widgets: Failed to check which JobView API is supported “org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown”
kf.kio.core: couldn’t create worker: “Unknown protocol ‘smb’.”
kf.kio.workers.file: readData() returned -1

Konsole output for WEBDAV Connection.
QString::arg: 2 argument(s) missing in org.kde.okular
kf.kio.widgets: Failed to check which JobView API is supported “org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown”
kf.kio.workers.http: Can’t communicate with kded_kcookiejar!

kf.kio.core: Can’t communicate with kiod_kpasswdserver (for queryAuthInfo)!

EXPECTED RESULT
File should open normally regardless of location. Non-flatpak'd version of Okular works just fine.
