Hi,
I was looking for an answer to show linked files in Windows Explorer,
And came across an answer from GoalieDad (https://forum.literatureandlatte.com/u/GoalieDad)
Show linked file in file-explorer?
He explains how he Right clicks with mouse and after holds down the CTRL key to find the hidden item
“Reveal File Location”
i.e. shows me where my linked media file is in Windows Explorer…
Is there a list of these special key operations, somewhere I can easily find?
I don’t mean Keyboard shortcuts - this is different.
And I don’t mean digging into preference files or any other special/critical files 
If there isn’t such a list - that’s also fine
Kindest regards Jay
You don’t want to go messing around with your contents.rtf files in their stored locations.
There are potentially dozens or hundreds, even thousands of such files with the same name, dependant in the size of your project.
You run the risk of losing Scrivener’s index to these files, which represent one per folder or document you’ve created in Scrivener.
The bottom line is if your Editor is functioning, there’s no reason to scratch in the individual documents at their default storage location.
If those “links” created automatically when you create a new document in Scrivener are somehow broken, you’ll spend a month of Sundays looking for the culprit you’ve corrupted.
The right click and holding the control key will work for scrivener documents, but it also works for any file imported as a File Shortcut.
