Browse local files for non-steam games/apps
Hi,

we have the option via "Browse local files" to jump to the specific game folder in the ".../steamapps/common/" directory for Steam games. But for non-steam entries, this does nothing at the moment because there isn't a directory under this path.

I think, it would be nice to have it opening the specific prefix folder in the ".../steamapps/compatdata/" directory. This way, the time consuming step of finding and clicking through all the directories to get to the prefix folder of the non-steam game/app would become no longer necessary and would make the whole process easier, especially when tinkering around because of mods, patches etc for that non-steam game/app. Perhaps this could also be allowed for steam games, giving you the option to jump to the actual game directory or the prefix folder under "compatdata".
The Steam client on a regular Linux desktop should also receive this feature.
