How can I use spotlight search to open a specific file path

Is there a way to do Command+Spacebar to open the spotlight search on macOS Mojave, and then give the path of a folder you want to open?

For example:

 "open ~/Documents/File"

or some equivalent.

If this isn't possible by default are there any extension to do this? I was looking at Flashlight but was unsure if I needed it.


Solution 1:

If you open Spotlight and type in the path of a specific folder and hit return that folder will open on your desktop in Finder. Put the full pathname but don't put open in the Spotlight search window.

Example: To open my python folder I type the following in the Spotlight window. /User/myname/python . Now when I hit the return key the folder opens.
