you can use "c F" to copy the file name of the current message into the
the kill ring, then just yank wherever useful (e.g. to visit the file in
emacs).

After editing you will need to reindex that file. One way would be
to use "c i" to copy the message id into the kill ring, then yank it
into a shell command like

     notmuch reindex id:<whatever>

If that seems to do what you want, then the steps can be automated
within emacs.
