Description
### Description
it is common to copy paths from github source or similar. Finding those path quickly in my editor without modification makes for a more refined user interface. This functionality exists in VS code. I think we should look at bringing this over to netbeans.
From implementation point of view this should basically work similar to sql `LIKE '%%'`.
Its the small details that make the experience hard to leave
### Use case/motivation
After using VScode and seeing the small details that make it a good editor. I think netbeans can steal small details refinements like this and make using netbeans even better.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating NetBeans' existing Go To File action and its current path-matching behavior. Implement support for opening files from relative or partial paths, and verify that paths copied from sources such as GitHub resolve to the intended file.
