Show in finder after Indesign export?

In Lightroom I have the option to show my file in the finder after I export it. Usually this is handy because I'm sending that file to another location right after. Is that option available for Indesign as well? Thanks.

In the export dialog, check the "View PDF after Exporting" box.

When the PDF opens, right-click the file name in the title bar and choose the folder in which the file resides, which opens a Finder window with that file selected.

This is so frustrating...it seems as though once a company gets big (Apple, Microdoft & Adobe), they begin to control your content more by making things that are so basic, difficult. I am very disappointed.

Notably, it's only there in the Export to PDF dialog. (It's not a general option, and OP does not mention to what file type is exported.)
