Add command for "open file at path of selected text"

[btacordex]

I want to highlight text in my file. Then I hit a command, and the file opens in a new tab. If I have a line like

require "incl/common.html"

I want to select incl/common.html, push the command, and open that file.

@btacordex this could be achievable through an extension using the workspace APIs. Is this something you could do with your own custom extension?

Maybe I could, but I don't care enough to. This is an important and useful feature in the IDE I currently prefer to use, and it seems to me that it's useful enough it should be part of the core app and not need to be implemented by users.
