File chips in chat lack Open and Reveal in Finder, which the Files panel menu has for the same file #27028

What happened

Right-clicking a file chip in chat offers only Preview media, Copy relative path and Copy full path. The same file, right-clicked in the Files panel, also offers Reveal in Finder (plus Open, Copy mention, Add to chat). So when an agent hands you a generated file in chat, opening it in its default app or finding it in Finder means opening the Files panel and finding it again by hand.

Expected

The chip's context menu includes the Files panel's two native actions, with the same environment handling that menu already uses:

  • Open (default application)
  • Reveal in Finder / File Explorer / Files

    Closing as a duplicate of the existing discussion requesting Open and Reveal actions on chat file links and images. This report adds the desktop file-chip example to that same request. #6859 ChatMarkdown.tsx
