Open the Most Recently Added File in Finder Folder

Questions & Suggestions
1

Is there a way to have Keyboard Maestro look at the most recently added file in a specific folder in the Finder and open that file?

Sure is:

Just change the ~/Downloads directory path to the one you want and you should be good to go.

This is awesome, I should have asked this a long time ago. There are a couple places I can think of that I will use this daily. I have been making an alias and as of Mojave it breaks alias across multiple machines.

tell application "Finder"
  activate
  open file "Planning" of folder "Dropbox" of folder "myuser" of folder "Users" of startup disk
end tell

Thank you!
