I'm confused. On my system dolphin already behaves exactly like you described. What did I miss?
I also observed when >1 items are selected on Ctrl+Return folders open in new tabs, files open in default application. Can be mixed.
With 1 item selected there is no difference between Return and Ctrl+Return.

This patch is about Folder View (e.g. the desktop icons), not Dolphin

Confusion vanished. :-)
