If someone make such a charming request we might actually implement that.
Unfortunately I can't find the documentation for that entry in the current
specification at 
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Standards_2fdesktop_2dentry_2dspec

I found a deprecated "Extensions"-entry type in version 0.9.3, but that
contains
no other information than that it's deprecated. So maybe someone with a KDE
system could find out if one can just put the extensions in there, if one
has to 
include the '*' wildcard, and if the extensions are separated by ';' or by
',' ?

Ah yes, and is the file still named ".kdelink" or does KDE recognize
".desktop"
nowadays?

It's such a joy implementing always the oldest standards...
