Essentially this is a manually triggered stand alone quick access shortcut for launching files / browsing folders in the workflow data file. This is now an interactive view based component, to allow 1 time function with reset afterwards. It can be placed into a workflow without connection and it will only open when manually triggered by the user. This can open files in their native software. There is also an extension filter to focus in on the files / folders of interest.

You can now point it to a folder location via flow variable using the variable name "open-path" and designating it instead of the Local Workflow in the Config window.
