An AppleScript for Automator.app to open selected item in new Finder window

Open New Tab for Selected Item.scpt

# AppleScript for macOS Sonoma that opens a new Finder window/tab showing the directory of  
# a selected item (file or folder). If no item is selected, the script does nothing. Can be 
# used in a Shortcut.app, as a Service in the menubar item, or as a Quick Action extension.
