We use internal file IDs exclusively for pointin colleagues to files and folders and use them in other systems - but selecting a file on the three dots, then selecting share, then heading down to the internal link is a lot of steps.
Describe the solution you'd like
If instead we could have one quick action "copy internal link to pasteboard" directly in the list view on the folder/files, this would save lots of hassle and time. This could be extended to having either multiple buttons or at least choose which kind of button depending on which sharing action is the most frequent one used to always display directly.
Describe alternatives you've considered
none
Additional context
a configurable button here for quick action would be 1A

Research direction
Start at the Files and Folders list view and trace the existing three-dots → Share → internal-link action. Confirm whether the quick action should be configurable or support multiple buttons; done means copying the internal link directly from the list view works.
