You can do that, one program after another in the order the user wants to 
prefer a certain program for a certain mimetype as a handler. The issue here 
is that not every program written for KDE is provided by the KDE project so 
the packager has to take care of integrating files like the mimelnk's that 
the programmer maybe mistakenly added for his own make; make install laziness 
into the desktop by packaging.
