Is there any way to mark a file inside a folder to locate it easily and quickly? For example, with a mark on top of the file image.
Or to create a link/bookmark to that file in Dolphin that when I select it will show me that file in the folder that contains it. |

You can always drag the particular file somewhere at which point the contextmenu will offer to create a link to that file. (The key combo is ctrl+shift.)https://imgur.com/a/VFuv95w
You can always create a servicemenu which would, say, link stuff to a preset destination, or.. Since the copy/move bug still hasn't been fixed ( those context entries don't work on desktop, only in Dolphin itself) I created a copy and move script using zenity. So, a link servicemenu would look like this, popping up a zenity destination window. There are more ...plasma-ish ways to achieve it but this is easy and lightweight. Or, you could create some folder and put it in your sidebar. Drag n link also works towards the location bar. Edit: I'm still awake and quickly made a servicemenu. You need zenity of course. File goes in ~/.local/share/kservices5/servicemenus.

New edit.
I noticed the kdialog problem's been solved so now you can use native kdialog for a directory popup. Had some issues before. Anywho, made this submenu for copy/move/link any kind of file. Looks like: https://imgur.com/a/dW2j8hn Like I said, the native copy/move still doesn't work on the desktop ( only in dolphin itself), that's why I added the copy/move as well. Goes in the same directory, ~/.local/share/kservices5/ServiceMenus. As you notice, the link action is called zinkit. That's because those servicemenus go alphabetically. I still don't know how to assign an icon to the top level entry, plasma takes the first icon of the submenu.

Thanks, but this does not work for me. I don't want to open the file, but to locate it easily inside a folder, in the order they are displayed.

Ok. Can't help you then. If you want to colorize or something a file/folder within its directory, you're out of luck. I believe Macos and Windowz have such a feature, plasma doesn't. At most you can colorize a folder.

Nope, not available in dolphin. Just tagging. Nemo, Caja and such have emblems and such, dolphin not.
