Allow navigating directly to the folder(s) where a mod is installed. It would be useful to have quick access to the mod directories in order to edit config files, for example.

Copied from original issue: #544

@alexkindel : As in being able to do a 'right click -> open folder' sort of operation that would then open up the native file manager?

Yes. Although I'm not sure what behavior would be desired for mods that install to multiple directories. In a simpler alternative, it would be nice to be able to double click or right click->go to folder in the contents tab on any item.

Maybe in case of multiple folders it could be possible to open GameData with the mod's folders selected? Not sure if it's possible on all the platforms though. It might also get tricky on Linux where every distro has its own file manager these days.

I think most Linux distributions today support xdg-open. Running xdg-open path in a terminal starts my file manager with the requested path opened.

With #1443 we now do this! Watch for the release later today! :D
