What is the simplest way to mount an ISO from a Dolphin menu?

Hi guys! What's your way to get Dolphin to easily mount .iso files? I think it's a bit backwards to have to use the console just for this, in 2023...

EDIT: Just in case, I'm using KDE Neon.

Thanks!

Do you not see the Mount ISO option?

Edit: Apparently you need the dolphin-plugins package to see the Mount option
- Thanks...I can see it, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I click on it...and nothing happens. Is it supposed to mount in /media/myuser? or where?
  
  It should go under Devices on the left
- Works with the arch.iso, not with anything large though.. (this is not a kde problem, the mount command itself is not quite ready for the new millenium xd )

According to the internet this is default since dolphin 20.08.0

You may need to install dolphin-plugins if it's not installed.
For what purpose do you want to mount the .iso file? Ark can open it as an archive and extract any contained file.
- That... is not very useful. If you have a 100GB .iso (as some recent games) that you need to install, you now need 100GB x 3. The .iso, the extracted folder, then the installation. I'd rather have the simple easy step any other OS allows, which is to mount the iso for reading.
  
  @iturnedintoanewt @e_t_ ark can allow you to only extract a specific file or folder from an iso, not the whole iso.
