Open Folder and select file

Hi,

in Kate's tab bar I would like to implement a context menu action
"Open Containing Folder". In KDE, this should open dolphin and
preselect the specific file. On Windows, it should open the Explorer
and do the same.

It seems Qt Creator has some code to do exactly this:

Do we have that already in KDE somewhere?

Please note, I don't want to *open* the file itself, instead, I want
to open the file browser, and highlight the respective file.

Cheers,
Dominik
