Open nautilus or konqueror from within Firefox

I was reading a review of the new Google Desktop search tool from
linux.com
http://www.linux.com/feature/115737

Google Desktop integrates the browser links with the desktop, so
when your search term matches, say, files on disk, you not only get
an "open file" link, you also get an open folder link, which opens
the folder in Nautilus under GNOME or Konqueror in KDE.


It says that you can open a file or folder in Konq or Nautilus from
within Firefox.
I'd love to know how they do that - can anybody tell me what the heck
style url they use to do it?
Or is it a javascript? or?

Comments from someone who's installed it appreciated,

Brian
