When a notification contains URLs, they will be shown as a large preview (in case of one thumbnail) or multiple in a strip (similar to what Klipper does).
The previews can be clicked to open the file and can be dragged anywhere (e.g. to a webbrowser or chat window).
Spectacle can take advantage of this (the cursor actually changes to the open hand cursor to indicate it's a draggable surface but this cannot be seen in the screenshot)
Right-click does nothing - would be neat to have the regular KIO file context menu there.
It doesn't properly work with grouping, ie. when two notifications are grouped together, the thumbnail shown is the one from the last notification.

Really nice!
The single thumbnail might be a bit too large, as having large notification windows pop up could be irritating. Maybe half the size would be big enough?
I like the idea, but i am a bit concerned about the added complexity, that may be worked around?

This will cause the popup to close properly (previous patch would just hide the window but not "free" the dialog) but it will be kept in the history if it is a persistent notification
