This previous hint explains how to use Quick Look to preview files in the trash. But what if you want to actually open the trashed file?

It turns out that's amazing simple -- just double-click on the Quick Look window to open the document itself. Previously, you'd have to either move the file out of the trash, or drag and drop it onto an application icon in the Dock.
