If I copy a Dropbox link in the UI (e.g. on OSX in finder, right click, "Copy Dropbox link") I get a https link to the file.
If I click that the webinterface opens and I am pointed at the file.
Is there a way (in OSX) to either
-
check whether the file is available on the local Dropbox account and open it in the native application
-
check whether the containing folder is available on the local Dropbox account and open the containing folder in a file manager (finder)
Can the Dropbox app used for that?
Are there other ways how I can without the web interface find the path in the respective Dropbox?

No, when you get the https link it's context is intentionally obstructed
