This is implemented in r967 and will be available in the next release.

Interesting. Is there any chance of implementing this for the Linux client, too?
I'd imagine it might be difficult to do because of all the different 
file-managers, but I do remember reading something about an extension to the 
existing dbus/xdg-open interfaces implementing support for this. It might be 
worthwhile investigating if any progress has been made in this area.

Regardless, should this issue be closed before this is supported on all 
platforms, or are these different issues (e.g. separate bugs for 'X doesn't 
work on platform Y')?

I believe there should be a different issue for different platforms, mainly 
because it is useful to track issue status for each platform separately (for 
windows it is now 'PendingRelease', but for other platforms its not). I've 
tagged this issue OpSys-Windows to make it clear this issue is about windows 
only.
