What happens if you xdg-open the directory you want shown?
I don't think there's any way to show a directory with a specific file
selected.
Maybe we could standardise on using the URL fragment for that purpose, e.g.:
xdg-open file:///home/thiago/#valgrind.supp
This URL above works right now, except it won't pre-select valgrind.supp.
