feat: add the ability to open files from the UI

[tylerslaton]

This uses Electron's IPC code to open system files through the UI. It is done through a listeners on in the main.js of electron and an emitter in the next js app. Once the emitted event is received with a file it is opened with the system default.

We'd have to do some stuff with our Markdown renderer to know to treat those links in a custom way but yeah its doable.

Can you globally update the window object to add TypeScript support?

ideally add a file @/types/window.d.ts with these contents:

declare global {
  interface Window {
    electronApi: <ElectronApiType>; // You may have to type this yourself
  }
}

export {} // this is required to allow the types to be globally accessible throughout the application

Done!

For those coming back to the PR, the latest change is that I added typing for the electron API in the window object.
