Description
I love the ability of texstudio to right click on an included file and open it from the context menu. This works really great for files with a specified path or which are simply in the current working directory.
It would be nice if this could be expanded to files in the tex tree, e.g. if the file does not specify a path and is not found in the current working directory, one could use something equivalent to the command line expression
open `kpsewhich ushyphex.tex`
to open a file which is somewhere in the tex tree.
(Full disclosure: I just asked a loosely related question on tex.stackexchange how to write a user macro with the same effect, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/417727/36296)

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by tracing the existing context-menu action for opening included files, then compare its lookup behavior with the issue's kpsewhich ushyphex.tex example. Done means an included file missing from its specified path and current working directory can still be opened from the TeX tree.
