At the moment, there are no plans to create a Workspace Listener for Linux (source).
It would be great to not be limited to Windows and have support for automatic opening of your IDE on Linux.
 

Context:

Automatic opening of local code files  

For additional convenience, Windows users can install the new Thinkwise Workspace Listener. This tool automatically opens the selected code file in your preferred IDE when clicking on the pencil icon. 

The Workspace Listener is optional. Without it, you can still edit and synchronize code locally (provided you use a browser that supports the Filesystem API), but you will need to manually open the files in your IDE.
