"Open containing folder" in context-menu

Last year a registry edit was posted here which let you have the "open containing folder" appear in the context-menu in windows 10:

I tried this, but unfortunately it only appears to work if the file is stored on disk, not if it e.g. is stored on OneDrive.

Is there any way I can have the "open containing folder"-option appear, even if the file is stored, for instance, in my OneDrive folder?
