+Follow a Link
+========================
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+This Action adds the ability to follow a .desktop type link back to its source folder.
+
+The behavior is similar to the Windows "open file location" functionality.
+
+This following Actions should be paired for a complete package:
+* create-link-desktop@DopeyDave
+* create-link-here@DopeyDave
+* follow-desktop-link@DopeyDave (You Are Here)
+
+Usage
+-----------
+
+Right click on a shortcut file (.desktop type). Select the new option "Follow Link to Target".
