Find what AppleScript reference in Navigation Bar points to

General

I have a project that I have not looked at for some time. There are some AppleScripts that are referenced in the Navigation Bar

This is what it looks like in the NavigationBar.

The little curved arrow suggests that it is an “alias” and that it points to some file on my Mac called FirePalette. Is there a way, within, the IDE, to figure out the location of the file that it is pointing to?

The path as it were?

I have several files with this name on my Mac and I would like a simple way to determine which one it is pointing to.

If you hover the mouse over the icon, there should be a tooltip that shows the path to the file.

At least in newer versions of Xojo it does that.

I don’t know if this is quite what you’re looking for, but you can double-click it to open in Script Editor; or right-click it and select “Show on Disk” to reveal it in the Finder.

Scott and Eric both provide correct answers to my problem. I credited Scott with “solution” because he was first.

Eric methodology opens up a lot more options.

Thanks.
