For that I recommend pdf-tools (great pdf viewer for emacs, supporting
annotations and synctex, https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools) and
org-pdftools (provides org links for it,
https://github.com/fuxialexander/org-pdftools). There is also the
org-noter option (https://github.com/weirdNox/org-noter) to link
external annotations to pdfs.

For that org-protocol was mentioned. There is eww as well to browse
within emacs (and thus have links).

dired is a nice file manager. I agree having something at the level of
the OS would be great, but emacs is a pretty good OS ;)

Best,
