Description

When Claude sends files to the user (via the SendUserFile tool), the desktop app renders them as attachment chips/cards showing the file type badge (PPTX, PDF), filename, and size — but the chips are not clickable. There is no way to open the file, reveal it in Finder, or copy its path from the chip. A tooltip with the filename appears on hover, but clicking does nothing.

The file is effectively "delivered" but unreachable: the user has to manually hunt for the path in the surrounding conversation text or dig through Finder.

Environment

  • Claude Code desktop app on macOS (Darwin 25.5.0)
  • Conversation in the Code view; files sent by the agent via SendUserFile (a .pptx and a .pdf)

Expected behavior

Clicking a file chip should open the file in its default application (or at minimum offer Open / Reveal in Finder / Copy path actions in a context menu).

Actual behavior

Chips render with badge, filename, and size but have no click/open affordance at all.

Impact

Defeats the purpose of file delivery — the user asked the agent for a presentation, the agent produced and "sent" it, and the user still couldn't get to it without asking the agent to run open on the path manually.
