SUMMARY
After editing a symlinked .desktop file, `KFileItem::linkDest()` returns an
empty string, but `isLink()` still returns `true`.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
0. Add a log line to
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/blob/972a91a7588730303371cdcff32b15c916d0606d/src/widgets/kpropertiesdialog.cpp#L1545:
qDebug() << "Symlink target check: isLink=" << item.isLink() << ",
linkDest=" << item.linkDest() << ", newtarget=" << newTarget;
1. Install a package that contains a symlink from /usr/share/applications. For
example, Discord package on Arch/Manjaro: `pacman -S discord`
2. Open Application Launcher
3. Right-click on an app installed on step 1, select 'Edit application'
4. Change something and click 'OK'
OBSERVED RESULT
Log output looks like this:
Symlink target check: isLink= true , linkDest= "" , newtarget=
"/opt/discord/discord.desktop"
EXPECTED RESULT
Probably isLink should be false and linkDest still an empty string.
