[OS X TeX] Tabs in TS

Indeed, based on some more tests, this works for pdfs in the Documents
folder and in:
/usr/local/texlive/2020
But  cmd-click (ctrl-click) doesn't work for pdfs in the local directory
~/Library/texmf/doc
Clicking only reveals the icon and the path in the v (mv).

2) Clicking on something like a caron ˇ at the right of the window title

Now I can see what is the intention, even if problematically implemented,
of the V on the right of the title.

Thanks for the explanation!
