To browser

Is there a quick way to pop open something like an html file in the browser
from the Project view or the editor? Seems like there ought to be a way to
do so that uses the "Web browser path" setting.

Thanks,

on windows, regardless of IDEA's browser setting,
you can define an external tool that will open the OS default browser on
html files and windows explorer on folders :

program: rundll32
parameters: url.dll,FileProtocolHandler $FilePath$
working directory: C\

Yes, but I wanted to do so from inside of IDEA, for example, from the
Project View.

Create an external tool as Edo said and you will be able to right-click on a
file in the project view and run that tool.
