Create link on dock to open folder

I know this question sounds obvious and there are a million threads on placing folders on the dock but my need is more specific:

I want to add a folder to the dock but when I click on that folder, I simply want it to open in finder. I don't want to click the folder and then view contents in in Grid or List view, I only want the finder to open with that folder's contents. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Make an alias for the folder, then drag that to the Dock.

Click to expand...

Perfect! Exactly what I needed, thank you.
