Feature Request: Shortcut for "Show in Finder"/"Show in Explorer"

Please add a configurable keyboard shortcut (e.g., "O") to instantly reveal the selected item's file in the operating system's file manager. This would streamline access to associated files for external PDF viewers without having to configure the external PDF viewer as standard. For Zotero 6, I used Zutilo for this but this is no longer possible.

Zutilo is compatible with Zotero 7 again

@luisluetkehellweg: You can try the Actions & Tags plugin with the following script:

Or if you want to open the file directly in a specific external PDF viewer:

https://github.com/windingwind/zotero-actions-tags/discussions/359

You can also open a new discussion if these scripts do not do what you want.

I do not think that making this shortcut is possible in the latest version of Zutilo for Zotero 7:

As of Zotero version 7.0, some features of Zutilo, mainly keyboard shortcuts, no longer function.
