title: How to open folder of a file not in the project explorer in Eclipse IDE?
body: <p>I know there are various plugins like StartExplorer or Easy Shell that allow to open the containing folder for files or folders that are selected in the project explorer. What I looking for is to open the containing folder for a file that is NOT in the eclipse project explorer. </p>
  
  <p>A typical situation I find myself is in CDT view, I crtl-click on an include statement and open an .h file that is not in the project explorer, so I can't use the plugins above to open the containing folder.  The pathname tip appears for 5 seconds when I put the mouse pointer on top of the name of the file, so I can navigate to that folder manually, but sometimes I get a very very deep pathnames and it takes ages to navigate there, and I have to check the pathname tip many times because it keeps disappearing. Other editors have a open containing folder option when you right click on the name of the file. I miss this functionality in eclipse.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody know how to solve this?</p>
  
  <p>EDIT: An easy way to reproduce this situation is by dragging and dropping a text file from outside eclipse into eclipse. I'd like to open the containing folder of this file (imagine I didn't know where it came from). As suggested below, I tried Ctrl+Return, but it doesn't work in this situation, it just says there is not property pages for this file.</p>
