I also agree with Niels, BD is a citation manager, not a pDF manager. So double-click should do the most relevant thing: editing the citation. Apart from this, you really can do this already a long time. Make sure you add a Local File column, and then double-click in that column. The contextual menu also knows about it. A similar thing applies to the Remote URL column.
