This is based on the Open File or Folder component, but has additional features for creating a file or folder variable
If executed, and the option to "Open" is selected, it also attempts to open the specified location or file in Explorer (or equivalent) or the associated application.
Only tested with Windows 10 but it may work with other OS, as it uses Java.awt.desktop and does not directly call Windows Explorer or other operating system specific functions.
The location specified should be a valid absolute file/folder path if the location type is specified as "Absolute".
Note that the path handling is performed outside of the KNIME software and so it is not possible to use knime:// protocol paths here.
If the location type is either Workflow Folder, or Workflow Data Folder, then the location should point to a valid subfolder or file relative to the specified Workflow Folder/Data Folder.
