Brucey's bah.volumes module can return a number of the special folders on Mac/Windows/Linux

This seems to be the way to do it in Obj-C : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7652928/launch-osx-finder-window-with-specific-files-selected
I don't have a wrapper for that, but it shouldn't be too hard to make one.

OpenURL("file://yourDirectoryPath/yourDirectorySubPath/aso/bla/")

Use the "file://" statement to open file and directory urls. This will open Finder instead of Safari!
