Workflow to open a list of file names

[tander19]

I work in category management and we save space planning files under their specific trait number. Occasionally we are asked to open up several of these at once.

I can use the directory tool to get file names. My goal is to create a workflow that will allow the end user to paste a list of traits #s and the app will open the files associated.

I can’t find any workflows that actually open files, any tips?
