How to resolve sftp:// or smb:// directories on Linux

1

I have noticed that whenever you "mount" a network share or location using graphical tools like Thunar or Nautilus, you get a nice sftp://path/to/file kind of url to files and directories alike, however if I try to e.g. cat 'sftp://home/remote/a-file' I obviously get a file not found error, but I remember that back in the days you could just head to /run/1000/gvfs/ and find the mount points of such resources; why doesn't it work anymore? and more important: how can I resolve those uris or access those resources without actually having to manually mount them or fiddling with fstab?

I have tried inspecting the output of mount to see if they are around somewhere without any luck.
