Would love for there to be a way to run Dolphin with different profiles that have completely different settings configs like places, toolbars, service menus and keyboard shortcuts like you can with Firefox? Maybe even dolphin --config-dir=

You could edit the env variable XDG_CONFIG_DIRS (where settings are stored) and XDG_DATA_DIRS (where places are stored) have it pointing to someplace else than the default to obtain that.
$ XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=~/.second-config XDG_DATA_DIRS=~/.second-data dolphin
Although that wouldn’t work nicely if you use single instance mode.
I can’t guarantee the result.
is it possible to change location of just one file with this method /home/user/.local/share/user-places.xbel ?
I found a workaround!
It is pretty simple. The session file is in ~/.config/session/dolphin_dolphin_dolphin (wtf is that name?)
No but that’s fine, only one dolphin instance is affected.
You can also use:
$ XDG_CONFIG_HOME=~/.second-config XDG_DATA_HOME=~/.second-data dolphin
