return A Future that completes with a bool value indicating whether the operation to open the download folder was successful or not. Returns true if successful, otherwise returns false.

• On Android and iOS, this method uses the platform-specific channel to invoke a native method ('openDownloadFolder') to open the download folder directly, providing a seamless user experience.
• On other platforms (e.g., macOS, Windows), the method retrieves the path to the download folder using the getDownloadFolder method, and attempts to launch the file explorer or file manager to open the specified folder using the launchUrl function.

Note: The success of opening the download folder may depend on the availability and configuration of the file explorer or file manager on the device.
