I think it is useful to provide, in the File menu, a command (such as 'Show in Explorer/Finder/FileManager') that opens the folder containing the file currently open in TeXworks.

"Reveal in finder"
"Show in enclosing folder"
are used on MacOS. The second one seems less OS related and may fit better for internationalization.

This can be implemented easily as script - see https://github.com/stloeffler/TeXworks-scripts

It seems to me that the main problem is the file menu entry, which is not addressed by the script.

I was not familiar with the 'TeXworks-scripts' repository. I loaded the 'Open containing directory' script and added a shortcut. All good!
For me the issue is solved, although I am convinced that the function is of general use and perhaps it would be better to put it in the File menu by default.
