When I click the "Open File Manager" context menu item (see attached screenshot), Dolphin opens the containing folder. But no file is selected. It would be nice if the correct file would be selected. This is a similar report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377510

Looks like this is using custom code instead of KIO::highlightInFileManager(). That'll fix the issue as well as make the string use common terminology.
Here, have patch! https://phabricator.kde.org/D11705
Git commit 05fe10da0034127b25c1e828c348af4035451d84 by Nathaniel Graham. Committed on 26/03/2018 at 22:26. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. Highlight selected items when showing parent folder from the open/save dialog Summary: For the open/save dialogs' {nav Open File Manager} context menu item, this patch adopts `KIO::highlightInFileManager()` and modernizes the name to match current convention ("Open Containing Folder"). Test Plan: Deploy change and invoke the open dialog from Kate, then... - Right-click on one or more items and select {nav Open Containing Folder}. See that items are highlighted in the window that opens. - Right-click on the background (i.e. select nothing) and select {nav Open Containing Folder}. See that current folder is highlighted in the window that opens.
