It looks like you are referring to two specific programs, Dolphin and Kate.Dolphin can be run (again) as root (with su, not sudo) since 18.08.0 (currently in testing) with big warning, waiting for the feature which will allow users to browse all files even without running the whole program as root.
Kate can't run directly as root, but there is a way to edit files a root: https://phabricator.kde.org/D4634 https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2017/02/editing-files-as-root/ -- Luigi
