Description
## Scenario
I use VS Code desktop with **Copilot** selected as the session type, rather than **Local**.
When Copilot returns a link to a file or folder, I want to right-click it and copy its path. I cannot currently do that from the response link.
## Requested behavior
Add **Copy Path** to the right-click menu for file and folder links in Copilot responses. Copy the filesystem path as plain text so I can paste it into another conversation or handoff.
## Why this matters
Copying file and folder paths is a common part of my handoffs. I want to keep the clickable link and also be able to copy its path directly.
## Related report
#280165 covers copying file references from responses into external systems. This request is specifically for a right-click **Copy Path** command, rather than changing how an entire response copies.
## Environment
VS Code desktop, Copilot session type. Exact VS Code build not yet collected.
