Sure, but I am in BBEdit in a file with many file paths. I want to open a file 
from that text file.

And that is still copying and pasting the text as opposed to, for example, 
rclicking on a selected line and choosing "service -> Open" which brings up 
that restricted service dialog and doesn't save the "open enclosing folder" 
behavior that I also want.

NB: the file may not be (probably is not) a file that BBEdit can open, it is 
just a file where I have the path in a text file.
