Command-Return will reveal the selected file in Finder. Spotlight (and pretty much all Apple software) is rarely explicit about advanced (?) functionality but quite often there is some depth. My favorite example (also part of Spotlight) is the calculator. It seems simple but it is capable of quite complex calculations. Try using sin, pi, e or sqrt. (If math isn't central to all you do this calculator is the only one you ever need.) You can also copy results by pressing Command-C. None of this is obvious. I didn't know that you could copy results for years, despite always complaining about the lack of that feature whenever I talked about the Spotlight calculator. (I was finally corrected that you can indeed copy results here on HN. Thanks guy/girl!) I don't know whether that's a good or bad thing. I personally like software that doesn't try to please advanced users at every turn, but that's more about aesthetics than usability and I wouldn't try to generalize it. I think you can guess from this that I don't use Quicksilver. Spotlight serves me well.
