Nope,... just hold down the mouse and get a nested menu.  Release when the
doc or app is highlighted.    Pop-up folder it is called.  I hope Copeland
has it standard.

Nope.  I don't think so.  Not when the nested folders appear as nested
menus.  I promise you that I can reach a nested 5 directory deep app/doc
than a command line.  Especially when the nested directory names aren't
exactly remembered.
