Open a file or a folder after clicking
Hi !
How to ask 1Password to open a file or a folder in Windows file explorer (not in a browser) after clicking on a "URL" type field ?
Thank you !

I'd appreciate this feature too.
My use case is to make it as easy as possible for family to access my SMB shared network drive at home and on the road. I have already set up https://tailscale.com/kb/1081/magicdns/, and have shared the network drive login/username/URL in a 1Password shared vault, but it's one extra step to try and help people understand they need to copy the URL from 1Password, open Windows Explorer, then paste it into Windows Explorer's hidden address bar. Would be great if they could simply click the URL and have it automatically open in Windows Explorer (and the equivalent for Mac). I can access my network share from Android as well with Samsung Files, but I have my doubts Android/iPhone would support that sufficiently. In which case,
The URLs I've tried adding to 1Password item so far (actual names replaced with examples):
* Open in a browser instead of file explorer (and do not work since they use https:// instead of file://
* \\familySynology\nas-main\
* \\familySynology.yak-bebop.ts.net\nas-main\
* Only give a "Copy" option in 1Password, not "Open" like most URLs
* file://familySynology/nas-main
* file://familySynology.yak-bebop.ts.net/nas-main/
