Right-click on breadcrumbs to copy path

[canadaduane]

Currently, the breadcrumbs can only be used to navigate up or down the path hierarchy. I'd like to be able to get the path from the breadcrumbs. I imagine being able to right-click and copy the path-up-to-this-point.

Examples:

backend > src > pages > api > public > users > get.ts > default > auth

If I right-click on "get.ts" I would be able to select "Copy Path" and then have "backend/src/pages/api/public/users/get.ts" sent to the clipboard. If I right-click on "pages", select "Copy Path", then "backend/src/pages" would be sent to the clipboard.

Breadcrumb items that do not correspond to a path segment could be followed "back" up to the nearest segment that corresponds to an actual path--e.g. Right-click on "auth" in the example above would result in "backend/src/pages/api/public/users/get.ts".

It seems this would be very similar to the right-click "Copy Path" or "Copy Relative Path" submenu items from the explorer view.

Note: On Mac OS X it is possible to ctrl+click on the filename in the window to get the path via a pop-up that allows you to select the path segment. This feature request would particularly serve Windows and Linux users well, since they do not have that OS affordance.
