Open the path under cursor in a floating terminal #2853

Please start a new Q&A discussion instead of raising a feature request.

Can this functionality be implemented utilising API?
nvim-tree exposes extensive API (see :h nvim-tree-api). Can it be used to achieve your goal? Is there a missing API that would make it possible? probably, maybe, I don't know
Given stable status of nvim-tree it's preferred to add new API than new functionality.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It happens very usual I need to do file operations (tar, untar, etc) on a file, it will be useful if I can open a floating terminal after bnavigatong on my file in the tree inside vim, its actullay adding a new layer on top of nvim from the nvimtree gateway
