"Open" from Daz Central and show in Daz Studio function is "broken"

Hello Daz Experts,

This is most likely a "user issue" and not a software problem. I recently started using Daz 3D Studio 4.20   [4.20.0.2]
Everything works fine and going through the provided tutorials plus using google and youtube, I was able to get some amazing results with just a few days of practice.

One thing is strange and I was apparently not able to find the right keywords to describe my problem and search the Webs , so I could not solve it myself yet.

I'm using Daz Central 1.5.0.20 [which most professional users will probably discourage, but it proved to be very useful for me as newcomer to "find my stuff" in the Daz Studio GUI initially]
All assets I bought through Daz Store are visible in Daz Central and can be successfully installed and used in Daz Studio -> no synchronization Problem. "Daz Connect" seems working. 

However, the very handy function to "Open" the asset from Daz Central in Daz Studio and show where exactly in Studio/Products it is located seems to be broken again since yesterday. 
In fact this happened a few times now over the last couple of days. Re-installing Daz Studio always fixes the issue, but after a few hours of usage this "Link" between Daz Central and Daz Studio breaks again.
Restart of both Daz Central and Daz Studio has no effect. Reboot of the Computer (Windows 10 Home 64bit 20H2 on an ASUS/AMD Ryzen 9 3900X / 64GB / NVIDIA RTX2080 Ti platform) also has no effect.

Has anybody experienced the same? How can this useful feature be re-activated without re-installing Daz Studio?

Any hint is welcome,
​Guido

Hi Guido. I have two hints.

Search for the product in the smart content Products section with the exact name of the product and Starting with "

Find the Smart Content tab and click on Products all products. In the Search field use a " and then start to type the name of the product. The quote ensures that you get the exact product and not a variation.

Install Daz Install Manager and Use the Carrot to find where the files are installed.

This mirrors where it lives in the content library. See the attached Images
