I'm aware of xdg-open and termux-open for opening files in their respective default applications, but how could I go on about opening some directory in the default file manager?

Research direction
The issue mentions xdg-open and termux-open but names no source files or tests. Start by tracing how those commands handle directory paths and how the Android default file manager is selected. Done means establishing whether directory opening is supported and, if not, defining a concrete command behavior.
