Executing paper folders & search templates from column script in list

[Schuller]

Hi, can someone please let me know if this is possible?

To have a custom column script with a trigger click where my paper folder text files are located in AppData\Roaming\XYplorer\Paper, that when clicked will open the corresponding paper folder location(not the text file).
Or alternatively, if anyone knows if there exists another way(besides rapid access) to have a list of predetermined group of paper folders(or any file, folders) placed on a tab that when clicked will show in the list and can be clicked there to open.

I'm confused.

A) Do you want to open the directory where the active paperfolder.txt is saved in?

B) Are you trying to get a list of all the directories the active paperfolder is displaying?

"A) Do you want to open the directory where the active paperfolder.txt is saved in?"

Yes, that much I can do and have I'll have that directory location set on locked TAB if I can have a custom scripted column in that location configured with a trigger click that would open/execute/initiate (whatever its called) those .txt files just as it would when opening a paper folder from say the Catalog. Right now, I can create a paper folder, place in the Catalog and click on it and it will open that paper folder and display whatever I added to it in the list pane. I would like simply do the same thing but from the actual directory where those paper folder .txt files are stored(if possible) by a clickable scripted column.

"B) Are you trying to get a list of all the directories the active paperfolder is displaying?

No

Something like this where I click on the icon and it opens the corresponding text file as a paper folder

YES , That's exactly it.
Works perfect!

Thanks

Can the same thing be accomplished on the FindTemplates directory where the *.ini search templates are stored? Could I run/execute those search templates from a column script there?
