Actually, all you need to hold down is the option key and double click on 
a folder.  This is called "tunnelling"

*****WARNING ABOUT TUNNELLING*****
If you already have the maximum number of windows open and you attempt to 
tunnel, YOU WILL CRASH.  

The only "workaround" is to drastically increase the max # of open windows 
in the Finder using something like ResEdit to modify the LAYO resource or 
to use the Layout application which is floating around.
