Research direction
Investigate how notifications are currently handled in SyncTrayzor, likely in the notification service code. Look for the event handler for notification click events. Then implement opening File Explorer to the file location using Process.Start with 'explorer.exe /select, "filepath"' or ShellExecute. There is no linked PR or maintainer guidance, so the implementation is open to the contributor's approach.
