If the file_to_path feature is present in your version of Vim (use the Vim command :version to verify that then it should work out of the box (using the :Explore command or the gf key command).
Here is a reference to a similar question in SE.
Remark: Tested on Ubuntu + Vim 9.1 / Neovim 0.9.5

1thanks for your help. I have Neovim 0.9.5 but it looks it doesn't have that feature enabled. I tried both suggested commands and it does nothing. I used a package manager to install it. Maybe I'll need to compile and install it myself.Thesevs SCUTULATUS– Thesevs SCUTULATUS2024-03-07 17:38:48 +00:00Commented Mar 7, 2024 at 17:38

Indeed the easiest to get all the feature is to compile Neovim yourself. This is what I have done on Ubuntu and the feature came by default.2024-03-07 18:27:08 +00:00Commented Mar 7, 2024 at 18:27

I cloned the neovim repository from github and compiled it as Release and with Debugging information and it didn't included the feature. How can I configure the compilation to enable it?Thesevs SCUTULATUS– Thesevs SCUTULATUS2024-03-14 14:30:29 +00:00Commented Mar 14, 2024 at 14:30

I never did it myself but I believe you have to run the
./configurescript with the following arguments./configure --with-features=file_to_pathor mabye./configure --with-features=huge. Then run./makenormally.2024-03-14 14:38:20 +00:00Commented Mar 14, 2024 at 14:38 -
