Quick way to find other copies of current selected file?

Toss-up as to put here or in Tips/Q&A...anyway, is there a quick way that I'm not aware of that would allow one to do a Find File using the currently selected file name in list as criteria? Ok, so I know I could cut/paste it into the Name field in panel, but is there some better way?

I'd only want to get name copied, and not affect Location.

Update: Or alternatively, to do an Address Bar search using current Location from IP, but name from selected file...so existing Name wouldn't get clobbered...

I don't know a better way. Ctrl+Shift+P copies the name... you know that.

This is somewhat related to the recent find duplicates discussion, but just happened on this issue that could be a possible inspiration for a improved manner to setup this type of search either via AB or panel...
