Quickly Find the Location of an Open File on a Mac

This Mac tip has been around for ages, but I'm not sure how many people take advantage of it.

This is primarily useful if you've opened a file linked to another file. But it can be used for any file that you have opened, but aren't sure where that file is located.

With the file open, click on the title of the file in the title bar while holding the Command key. This generates a popup menu. The list displayed in this popup menu is the path to the file. Simply choose any item in the list to be taken to a finder window of that location.
