No, it doesn't.

One way of doing this is to use a ClickList as it allows you to define a
search expression to match the filename. The matched text will be placed
in StrongED$Tmp_MarkWord so that it can be used in functions.

Here are the expressions that I have in use here:

  Search
     FileSys   "ADFS::" | "RAM::" | "SCSI::" | "SDFS::"
     FileName  (FileSys | "Boot:") {~(Ctrl|White) Any}+
  End

  ClickList Select2
     FileName   Run("Filer_Run <StrongED$Tmp_MarkWord>")
  End

The FileSys expression can be extended with further filing systems as
required.

You can prefix 'Select2' with modifier keys if desired, eg cs-Select2
will open a directory on a doubleclick with both Ctrl and Shift down.
Note that the filename doesn't have to be selected first.

Cheers,
Fred.
