Launch external files

A little additional explanation: what I'd like to do is to click on the file shown in the project tree in IntelliJ and let it open in Excel, just as if I clicked on the file browsing the filesystem. I don't want to see the Excel file in the IntelliJ editor :)))

Set up an external tool. Select IDE settings, External tools.

See attached for setup

Explorer window with current file (in editor, project tree, etc.) selected.
