On a Mac, I might have used Command-o in a similar situation, but I'd've dragged the file I wanted to open to the sidebar first, so that it would've been waiting for me --- I didn't want to use Control-o 'cause it would've been a pain either re-navigating to the file, since Windows doesn't let one drag into a file open dialog to re-set where it's pointing to.
I think you meant to respond in the thread about the Surface Pro 3. (report your post and have it moved. For the moderator: move mine with it.)

Anyway: You can also drag the file from the File Browser into Firefox or Chrome and it will open like that too.
