Ability to copy path of an option

Natively In Windows 10 under the right click menu there is an entry that allows the user to copy a path of the selected file or folder. Which is very handy and time saving

I wish I could do the same within FreeCommnder Options- instead of having constantly writing down verbatim all those paths to options, while reporting a bug on the forum or trying to help someone on by telling that person where exactly is some option they may try out

In windows file explorer, I have to use shift right click to see the option Copy as Path ...
Same works for me in freecommander ...

I was referring to paths within all those settings / options and not to files or folders...

But I guess that this is not doable as FC utilizes Windows' structure / behavior for menus for other aspects and Windows does not allow for such software path copying [as far as I know]

Workaround - Online help:

About FreeCommander

E.g.: Column profiles

BTW to copy the link with the name in the forum this extension is useful, also previous links are created with this extension:

CopyTabTitleUrl - copy tab title and link in custom format with a single click to paste (also) in the forums (no need to copy name and link separately and click the URL button)

CopyTabTitleUrl – Get this Extension for 🦊 Firefox (en-US)
CopyTabTitleUrl - Chrome

So I guess, that this is impossible without a major rewrite of FC?
