Description

Right now if i open a Recent DevContainer solution, everything work as expected, but when is re-open in the container, im not able to see where the files are in the host, even if i would want a terminal in the host with the path of the files, is inaccesible.

I would like to have a right click -> Reveal in file explorer to a file, and show the local, host explorer, showing the files, a terminal is another option that could lead to help pipeline, but the reveal is a MUST.
