#726 Show in Explorer

[Ken]

One feature in Matlab which I really like is that I can right-click on a filename and the menu offers "Show in Explorer". This then opens up an Explorer window with the file highlighted. I can then easily rename/move/copy this file or do any other Windows operation.

It would be great if JabRef could have something similar for the files. You currently have "Open", "Move/rename file", and "Move to file directory", but could you also add a "Show in Explorer" option as it is often easier to move/rename files there?

I added the patch and also added the desired context menu entry at a single file.
