Feature request: Show full script path / open script location in PythonScript configuration #406

Problem

In the PythonScript plugin configuration (specifically Menu items and Toolbar icons), scripts are displayed only by name or by truncated paths such as:
..._script_.py
C:\Users..._script.py

There is currently no way to determine the full filesystem location of a listed script and no action to open the containing folder.
Why this is an issue:
Users are expected to already know where PythonScript stores scripts.
Truncated paths are insufficient when multiple scripts have similar names.
Locating the actual .py file often requires manual searching through AppData or guessing plugin-specific directories.
This is especially problematic for infrequent users, administrators, or anyone revisiting an old setup. (For example, I last updated the scripts about six months ago. So I don't remember where they are located.)
Expected / Suggested behavior:
One (or more) of the following improvements would significantly increase usability:
Display the full absolute path (e.g. as a tooltip on hover).
Add a context menu option such as:
“Open script location”
“Open containing folder”
Optionally, add a read-only field showing the resolved path of the selected script.
Scope:
This is not a functional bug but a UX / quality-of-life improvement that makes script management more transparent and reduces unnecessary friction.
Benefit:
Faster script maintenance
Less confusion for non-expert users
No need for external searching or guessing internal directories (I've already spent 20 minutes looking for that folder today.)
