Maybe FileURI so we can use gio magic to send/receive files from/to remote
locations?
Note that would make things more complex if we use this property as a file
transfer method with the CM (a CM may not support, say, ftp://);

That's a bit of a corner case but yeah, ok. Adding this signal is trivial any
way.

That's bug #18527, I added a comment.
