Comment (by pulkomandy):
Actually this is already implemented in Web+, but doesn't always work.
There are several problems.
* The Tracker window is open through BRoster->Launch. There is no way to
know when this finishes and the window is ready to receive the selection
message
* There is no direct way to find the window matching a path. Web+
currently finds the window from its title, which means the message can get
to the wrong window if two open folders have the same name. It will also
only select the file in one window, if there are multiple windows pointing
to the same folder (either on different workspaces or because of single-
window mode)
Tracker scripting support needs to be extended (there even are TODO left
by Be engineers) so we can do this more reliably:
* Send an EXECUTE message to Tracker with the ref to a folder, and get
back a messenger to the opened (or raised) window
* Use the received messenger to set the selection on that window.
