I want to make sure that's clear to avoid unintended side effects (like
making the user open the folder themselves). The intended functionality
is that when the button is clicked, the bookmarks library/sidebar/etc
opens the containing folder *on its own* and scrolls down (well, it
doesn't actually do any visible scrolling, but opens to the position in
that folder where the bookmark is) to the bookmark that the user clicked
"Show in Folder" on. As well as opening the folder to where the bookmark
is, the manager also highlights the folder location in the list of
folders/folder tree (which AFAIK it does when you open a folder the
normal way, so it's probably the same code for that).

Basically, it just programmatically opens the folder and then locates
the bookmark.
