I don't think there is a "good" solution to this, so take your pick of kludges. Something has to trigger the automount before you can browse it, and since the mounted directory isn't actually created until it is mounted on, there is no way for file browser tools to see it.

I use the symlink kludge. If I have an automount at /server/photos, then I create a symlink /photos -> /server/photos . Then I can go to /photos in the file browser and that triggers the automount.
