Apologies if this is a dumb question, but hours of searching has not solved it: the first item in the drop down menu under 'File' features an 'open folder' icon that allows one to open a file, and has a reminder that the Ctrl+O shortcut key does likewise, but is there a way of adding that shortcut to the menu bar so that, when viewing one PDF, we can open another just by clicking on the 'open folder' icon?
Actually, there is a way to do it. You can create a custom command that executes a script to open the File Open dialog, and then add it to the menu bar. Here's a general tutorial by fellow expert Karl Heinz Kremer on how to do it:

And the code to use is simply this:
app.execMenuItem("Open");
