Open files according to their extensions or show a directory

The files will be opened if possible. Up to one directory can be shown in the RStudio Files pane.

The behavior for files that cannot be displayed in the RStudio source editor or a browser is determined by no_copies. When FALSE (the default), a read-only copy will be opened. When TRUE, the Windows file path is printed as a message.

file_open(..., no_copies = FALSE)
