Here it is a script which opens librarypaths, if the load statement are in the current selection, or on the current line, if you press ctrl after having installed an utility, which are referenced in the post, then you reveal the library file in finder.
This script works with Smile, AppleScript Editor and ScriptDebugger 4.5.
Recommended short cut keys are still cmd opt O for normal behaviour, and cmd ctrl opt O for opening the folder.
The post and the script can be found at : < http://macscripter.net/viewtopic.php?pid=131935#p131935 >

What kind of user-friendlyness is that?

Mollison's Bureaucracy Hypothesis:
If an idea can survive a bureaucratic review
and be implemented it wasn't worth doing.
