Aha! I just created an action called Open Terminal in Current View, and 
chose this as my command, not using %f, %d, etc:

exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator

And I checked all boxes in the Appearance Conditions, with * as the 
mask. Now that works perfectly in Details View. I can now just Select 
any file or folder the current view and load that plugin. Terminal is 
then loaded in the current directory, not the selected one.

Thanks!
