I didn't examine the code carefully for when its used, but I noticed 
[goto-tag](https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/d54b2a899dca95639fa6f52d5e16034498c332d9/src/symbols.c#L1648)
 has 
[document_open](https://github.com/geany/geany/blob/d54b2a899dca95639fa6f52d5e16034498c332d9/src/symbols.c#L1696)
 and so does the popup_item_activate() when a list is displayed so I assumed 
that it did open the file, or at least there is an intention to open documents 
if the tag has a filename even if it doesn't work?  Of course that would be 
tags from ctags format files, not tagmangler files.

With all due respect to your adopted baby, I personally would prefer to throw 
the binary, Unicode dangerous, tagmanager format under a truck and use e/ctags 
format, even if it means using e/ctags to write the files.
