What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

When I search for an item in the Windows Taskbar search, and that item is in the Recycle Bin, clicking "Open file location" opens the Recycle Bin but follows the path of the item, which is "C:$Recycle.Bin*item's name*". It first opens the drive, then an empty folder, and finally displays what's inside the Recycle Bin. It would be great if, instead of displaying the drive folder, an empty folder, and then the Recycle Bin's contents, it would only display the contents of the Recycle Bin.
