A Command key trick.

While working in a Finder window, you can use the Command key and mouse to learn where the window’s folder resides in the file hierarchy. Just hold down the Command key while clicking on the folder icon in the title bar:

Command-Click a folder Name

Okay, so maybe you already knew that. But did you know that you can do the same trick in a document window when that document is opened in an application? Command-click the document icon and see the path to its location on disk.

Command-Click a Document

Either way, choosing a folder in the hierarchy opens that folder in the Finder.
