Wish: Open file option in Grasshopper's File path component

Could the file component get an option to open a file or directiory in the right click menu?

I don’t like having to search for a file, since the component knows the file or directory location, it might be used to open the file as well. For any native Rhino files, it could open a new instance of Rhino and open the file (e.g. for Step or .3dm files) for non-native files (e.g. Excel file such as xls, xlsm or images) it should ideally bring up the native OS dialog in which you can choose the software with which to open the file.

I see this can be useful, I’ve added RH-75848 Add option to file component to open file/location
