indeed - though if you are unfamiliar with this note that it will actually
expand to "man:"

See Konqueror / Settings / Configure Konqueror / Web Shortcuts for a list of
available "protocols" available in Konqueror.  iirc, though I confess to
mostly accepting it as magic, not all of these are actually kio slaves. 
The kio slaves are (like fish: and sftp:) are available from _all_ KDE
programs (I love opening remote files from kate - "kate
sftp://domain/filename").

For the web shortcuts, the most common ones I use are dict: (merriam webster
dictionary); of course, gg: (google); and locate: (this is a kio_slave that
searches your slocate database).
