Description

**Mood:** 😔
**Category:** Requests and ideas

If I add a local folder to the sidebar, I can't seem to find a way to see the full path of the folder i added, and it'd be nice to be able to open the folder in finder/explorer or vs code.

Research direction

Start by locating the sidebar implementation for adding local folders and inspect how the selected folder is represented. Done means the full folder path is discoverable and the folder can be opened in Finder/Explorer or VS Code, with the behavior checked on macOS.
