docmanager open #101

Opening S3 documents I added this extension to my jupyterhub environment so that our users can have a visual files system for our s3 storage. The problem is we have our filebrowser's navigateToCurrentDirectory option set up to True and that results in the normal files browser navigating to the s3 directory when a user opens an s3 file due to the command you set up "docmanager: open". It would be amazing to differentiate between opening s3 files and normal files to avoid such behavior and not change the filebrowser context based on s3 context.

The current design goal is that navigateToCurrentDirectory will first switch to the correct browser before attempting to navigate to a directory. Will that satisfy your use case?
