Using File | To Clipboard | Item Path/Name(s) or Item UNC Path/Name(s) stores the result in the clipboard in standard Windows path formats.

• C:\EXAMPLE\SomeLocalFile.txt

• \\MYPC01\C$\EXAMPLE\SomeLocalFile.txt

But pasting into a local virtual machine running Linux (e.g. a VM under VirtualBox), or even some Windows applications that use Markdown or Wiki links, requires manual editing of the path to convert Windows backslash separators to *nix forward slashes.
In addition, some links in apps that point to local files using the standard URL format also require the file:/// protocol prefix.

• <mounted media>/EXAMPLE/SomeLocalFile.txt

• file:///C:/EXAMPLE/SomeLocalFile.txt

It would be practical if the To Clipboard menu included options to handle these conversions automatically.

Too special for the main menu, but you can script it.
