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.

xdg-open seems to have been in Ubuntu as early as 8.04 Hardy Heron. It's part of the xdg-utils package which is usually installed by default. kde-open has been in KDE since KDE 3, before Ubuntu even existed. – Patches Jun 4 '11 at 23:44

Also, kfmclient exec seems to do the thing.
