View source for OpenInFileBrowser

Use `OpenInFileBrowser.Open()` for a cross-platform way of opening any file/folder. This gives your code a "Reveal in Finder" or "Open in Explorer" functionality. Can be useful for editor scripts but probably can be used for non-editor scripts for desktop builds also (for in-game mod editors perhaps?).

If you specify a path with a file at the end, the code will open your file browser with that file selected/highlighted. If you specify a folder instead, it will open the contents of that folder with nothing in it selected.

I place this code in the public domain. Feel free to use it!
