Feature request

Which Nextcloud Version are you currently using: (see administration page)
3.15.3 Windows version.

Describe the solution you'd like
I have a folder containing a lot of folders with similar names that I need to manually sort and look through so I would like to search them. I disabled Windows search indexing on my Nextcloud directory because windows kept on downloading files I wanted to only keep online every time I searched for something in the parent folder.

The search function in the Nextcloud tray menu is able to find the desired sub folder, but clicking the folder only opens the containing folder and not the folder itself. This is useless to me because, as said, there are a lot of different folders and the folder names are too similar.

It looks like Nextcloud just opens the containing folder for folders or files. It would be nice if there was at least a context open to allow opening folder or files.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Open folder or file by default and have open containing folder the context menu option, but that risks messing with other people's workflow since open containing folder is the current behavior.
