Yes. You can add a so called "[tool](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/options/tools)" in File -\> Options -\> [Tools](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/user-defined-tools/966/3):

You have to browse for the path to your local `explorer.exe`  
The parameter to open the windows file explorer with the actual path of your select file is:  
`/e,/select,"%_path%"`

Hint:  
The "(CTRL + 7)" is just a textual hint for myself. This only works, if your tool is the 7th entry in the tool list. The first entry can be called with CTRL + 1, the second entry with CTRL + 2 and so on.
