So the Tree Browser plugin offers both of these choices, though it's only in 
the right click menu inside the tree browser sidebar. I'd definitely lean 
towards something with less steps; one option could be to add shortctus in Tree 
Browser for these two actions. But it doesn't really feel like the optimal fit? 
What do you think? Should this be part of an existing plugin, or even a new one?

The difference with opening a terminal or file manager from the desktop, is 
that this opens it inside the same directory as the file, saving a whole lot of 
time compared to manually navigating to the same directory.

Opening a terminal in the same directory as the file I find useful for all 
sorts of things (and do actually use it heavily!). Simple examples are git 
stuff, grepping, building/running. And while all this can theoretically be 
achieved from the integrated terminal and the tree browser, I find the external 
tools more convenient especially for more complex tasks. And I do tend to 
generally keep them open at the side rather than close immediately close them.
