Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Recently i needed to search for a certain file and while i was able to find my file using the search function, i afterwards wondered, where is the file located. Somehow this information was not viewable anywhere, neither in details nor in an action in the context menu when clicking on the 3 dots of a file.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great when:

• the context menu has an option 'locate this file' which leads you to the specific file
• the details panel has a filepath header which shows the filepath where the file is located
