Copy File / Folder Path in `Context Menu`

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

when attaching a file to a website / SaaS requiring file upload, the Open Dialog will need a file path.

Right now to get the file or folder path, we’d have to:

1. Search for the file / folder path
2. Ctrl+O to bring up Context Menu
3. Choose the option to Open the folder containing the file
4. In File Explorer, Copy and path
5. Go to the Open Dialog and paste the folder path

Describe the solution you’d like

We can reduce step (3) and (4) down to a single step if there’s an option in the Context Menu to Copy path to Clipboard.

For files, this could copy the file path

For folders, this could copy the folder path

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

Additional context

This is how Alfred currently works on the Mac.

@johnathanz Are you using everything or explorer plugin? I can add copy parent path directly to context menu so no need to copy that from explorer window. I think it’s useful and a good workround for current situation.
