Upgrade StorageFeature request: Locate library item in folders
I am suggesting a feature that would inform users which folders in their library contain a specific library entry.
As my library expands I noticed that I tend to sometimes forget what folders I placed a library entry in. To find the entry, I often search for it or if I tagged it a related tag helps me locate it.
I often store these entries in folders for organization, but when I use 'search' or tags to find them, there is no feature I am aware of that informs me of where in my library the entry has been archived.
Perhaps this feature could highlight all folders that contain a library entry with similar DOI, title, etc. so that users can be informed of its location in library folders rather than just the broader library storage.

Yes, that is the type of functionality I was referring to. Thank you for informing me of the shortcut.
A different suggestion would be to make this functionality more obvious in the user interface. I think it could be better integrated into context menus, the menu bar, or some other component of the UI.
The current way this is integrated as Ctrl + left mouse click in Windows is not intuitive. It is also not listed as a shortcut in the preferences menu.
