For GNOME based distributions it is.  There are some KDE ones also.
Konquerer has the same feature, but you have to remember the magic
keyword "fish", so a SSH URI is "fish://myserver/".

In my experience don't question why you need to know this magic keyword
to KDE people, they are unable to talk rationally about it.  Hopefully
this has changed in newer version of KDE.  (I'm sure someone will
respond to this :))
