Lets say I post a file URL...
-->"file://localhost/System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/"

set x to "file://localhost/System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/"
open location x

--> open the last item as frontmost item in Finder.
Here, open a folder.

Let's try a document? [no break] :

open location "file://localhost/System/Library/ScriptingAdditions/ StandardAdditions.osax"

--> opens this osax in Apple's SE.
Great, isn't it?

Very handy for posting!

Very handy to avoid a lot of 'path' problems for portability!

Note: works fast and stable.

Kind regards,
