Command for Set-Clipboard (-Path and -LiteralPath) parameter no longer exist

See original GitHub issue

In version 5.0 and 5.1 there was a -Path and -LiteralPath parameter for Set-Clipboard.

Why was -LiteralPath and -Path removed or is that an oversight not to include them?

Instead of FILE_NAME, one could use text/uri-list with File URI Specification, like in Drag-and-Drop Protocol for the X Window System (XDND). This would be suitable for copying multiple file references. Or even use both FILE_NAME and text/uri-list target atoms, but that would require changes in xclip, which currently supports only one target atom at a time.

For X11, Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual (ICCCM) version 2.0 section 2.6.2 mentions the FILE_NAME target atom, which could be used for Set-Clipboard -LiteralPath. The xclip program appears to support -target FILE_NAME.
