There is cool CLI utility an gnome-open file which does an application launch given the file the same way as douburu-clicking on this file in file-manager of gnome.
How should I do the same with kde? (launch the same application as it will be done as doubre clicking it in konquerorer?)

KDE's version of that command is kde-open.
However, there's also a universal version that should work in any desktop environment called xdg-open. Get in the habit of using that and you won't need to figure out a new command if you decide to switch to something else besides KDE later.

Also, kfmclient exec seems to do the thing.

xdg-openseems to have been in Ubuntu as early as 8.04 Hardy Heron. It's part of thexdg-utilspackage which is usually installed by default.kde-openhas been in KDE since KDE 3, before Ubuntu even existed. – Patches – 2011-06-04T23:44:46.397
