After using the Download Manager, users must then locate files using the file manager to perform simple operations -- such as enqueing downloaded clips in a media player. The 'Open Containing Folder' command does not greatly simplify this task, as files may be widely scattered by folder or sort order. The Download Manager should expose the file manager context menu directly for downloaded files. The behaviour should match expectations for both single and multiple selections. Existing context menu items could be either incorporated or removed in favour of icons. Reproducible: Always
