Edit - As was pointed out today and it is what I originally was asking and I knew I was missing something obvious.
Right at the Top of every input is the Name of the File. Unfortunately in V24 you can not highlight that to make it easier to search.
Also I still think an Open File Location would help everyone with the production speed as searching for a file is sometimes slow and painful.

Original Request Below.

For every Input that is linked to a file it would be cool for the Input to list that real file name somewhere in the Input.
Since every Input can be renamed being able to see the original name directly in the input would help find it if necessary later.

Taking this one step further it would be amazing if there was an "Open File Folder" button in the Input for this file. That way you are one click away from the folder and the file that is in it.

For Production this would save time. Knowing the file name would allow searching and being able to click a link would making the search unnecessary. Also this would allow Input name changes without the worry of not knowing the real file name in the future.

I know there are methods to find the filename and to capture and take that data somewhere else in bulk if necessary.
I only need one file at a time typically so knowing the real name helps. Having a button to take me to it would be even better.

EDIT - Another Production Use Case came up and I will copy and paste with Accreditation(is that the right word, trying to say giving credit)

Would be extra helpfull if something went south and I need to know what happened. Oh, it's on my F drive, ok...

If you hit save as bundle you see the resources and the path's. Either save it and move over to another vmix machine or unzip it and check the xml for the file path's
