The precise functionality you describe isn't included in the built in
actions, but you can add it yourself quite easily.

Open AppleScript Editor (or Script Editor on older systems), paste in
the following script code, and then save the file as ~/Library/
Application Support/Quicksilver/Actions/Go to in Finder.scpt (where ~
is your home folder). Restart QS, select a folder in the first pane,
and choose this action in the second pane. If you choose a file
instead of a folder, it will reveal the file. If you use the comma
trick to select multiple items, it will show each one in a new window.

Here is the code:

on open input
repeat with i from 1 to (count input)
set thisitem to item i of input
tell application "Finder"
activate
if thisitem's kind is "Folder" and (count input) is 1 then
try
set folder of front window to thisitem
on error
open thisitem
end try
else if thisitem's kind is "Folder" then
open thisitem
else
reveal thisitem
end if
end tell
end repeat
end open
