### What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?
Is it possibl⌠e for Files to add an API to get a tab's path? This will allow third-party applications to integrate with Files. For example, [Listary](https://www.listary.com/)'s [file application plugin](https://github.com/listary/Listary.FileAppPlugin) can get the folder opened in Files via this API, and then enable users to jump to the folder in file dialogs like this:
### Requirements
The API can be implemented as a URL protocol or a CLI argument.
For example, it can follow the [x-callback-url specification](https://x-callback-url.com/):
```
files-uwp://x-callback-url/get-tab-path?x-success=myapp://x-callback-url
```
Or just add a CLI argument:
```powershell
> files.exe --active-tab-path
C:\Windows
```
### Files Version
Version: 2.4.54.0
### Windows Version

Have you managed to get âquick switchâ to work on Files?
No, Files hasnât supported an API yet and our PM doesnât have a plan to support Files at this time.
