Sync this project(like sharepoint/onedrive) & View locally(Desktop Connector view online reverse)

I understand the potential difficulties with opening files locally that have been requested in another topic/idea

But here is a potential remedy, if we can reverse the functionality that we currently have, that is from the Desktop Connector "view online"

Could we have this option the other way around? Right clicking on a folder or file could open the location if you have that project synced on your computer via the Desktop connector?

If the project is not synced, then comes my next question as we are still waiting/hoping for a search bar in the desktop connector. Can we have a function in Forma Web where you are in a project and then just click "sync" like you have in Sharepoint where you sync the library(project). If it's already synced then it just skips or opens the folder in your files explorer.

I like the idea. There will be a connection to the desktop connector in this case, and you could get a warning if you have too many synced projects.
