Bug Description

In Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer 1.45.0, the previous option to copy a blob URL using the configured Custom Domain appears to be missing.

The storage account has a custom domain configured, and Storage Explorer correctly displays the custom domain in the container Properties panel. However, when right-clicking a blob, the context menu only contains:

Copy URL
Copy Path
Copy Direct Link

There is no longer an option such as:

Copy URL > Custom Domain

This functionality was available previously.

Resource Types

Blobs

Authentication Method

Account name and key

Connection Type

Sign in (subscription)

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open Azure Storage Explorer 1.45.0.
  2. Navigate through the normal subscription tree:
    Subscription > Storage Accounts > [storage account] > Blob Containers > [container]
  3. Verify that the container Properties panel shows a value for Custom Domain.
  4. Open the container and right-click any blob.
  5. Look at the available URL-copying commands.
Actual Experience

Only the standard Copy URL command is available.

It copies a URL using the Azure Storage endpoint, for example:

https://.blob.core.windows.net//

There is no option to copy the corresponding URL using the configured custom domain.

Expected Experience

When a Custom Domain is configured and recognized by Storage Explorer, there should be an option to copy the blob URL using that domain, as was possible previously.

For example:

Standard URL:

https://mybonanzastorage.blob.core.windows.net/files/path/file.pdf

Custom-domain URL:

https://mybonanzafiles.bonanza.se/path/file.pdf

Additional Context

This is not related to opening the container through Quick Access or a pinned storage location.

The problem occurs when navigating to the blob container through the normal Azure subscription/storage-account hierarchy.

Storage Explorer also clearly recognizes the Custom Domain: it is displayed in the Properties panel while the blob context menu is open.

Environment
Microsoft Azure Storage Explorer: 1.45.0
Build Number: 20260730.9
AzCopy: 10.32.2
Platform: Windows
Architecture: x64
Possible regression

Copy URL itself disappeared in Storage Explorer 1.44.0 and was restored in 1.45.0.

It appears possible that the standard Copy URL command was restored in 1.45.0, but the previous Custom Domain functionality was not restored with it.

I have attached a screenshot showing both:

the configured Custom Domain in the Properties panel, and
the blob context menu where the Custom Domain copy option is missing.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in Storage Explorer 1.45.0 by navigating through the subscription tree to a blob container with a configured Custom Domain, then inspect the blob context-menu URL commands. Trace the existing Copy URL behavior and verify that a Custom Domain option is available and produces the expected custom-domain blob URL without removing the standard command.
