Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I have "Show Hidden Files and Folders" disabled I'm not able to access hidden folder by entering its path in "Custom Path" because the "Go" button is greyed out as if I had entered not existing path. The path exists but is hidden. When I enable "Show Hidden Files and Folders" the "Custom Path" feature allows me to enter the hidden folder.
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like to use "Custom Path" feature to enter hidden folder without unhiding it.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Unhiding all hidden files and folders each time I need to access one is tedious and requires me to remember to hide them back after I'm done.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in Custom Path with “Show Hidden Files and Folders” disabled, using a path that exists but is hidden. Trace the validation that controls whether the Go button is enabled and compare it with the visibility setting. Done means an existing hidden folder can be entered and opened without unhiding hidden files and folders.
