Research direction

Start by locating the extension's save-as-Excel flow and the popup that currently opens the file, then compare the requested behavior with the linked Azure Data Studio issue. Done means users can choose between opening the exported file and opening its containing location.

Description

Not sure if this is a feature of this extension or base VS Code, but would be nice to open file location after saving data to excel instead of opening file itself. Most of the time I need to send the file to someone.

I'm migrating from Azure Data Studio and they implemented that feature there and it's really useful.

Since file is automatically opened in VS Code, maybe add option like it was in Azure Data Studio so users can choose to open location or file in the popup.
