xplr author here (xplr.dev). Nice tool. Note that there's a plugin https://github.com/sayanarijit/type-to-nav.xplr that does something similar. But I just realized that tere can also be used as a more generic type-to-nav helper for xplr.

  xplr.config.modes.builtin.default.key_bindings.on_key.T = {
    help = "tere nav",
    messages = {
      { BashExec = [[echo ChangeDirectory: "'"$(tere)"'" >> "$XPLR_PIPE_MSG_IN"]] },
    },
  }
