I think a sub menu would defeat the fast accessibility of that the
context menus provide. I thought about it again and I don't have strong
opinions about in which context menu to put the three actions anymore as
long as the bunch stays together. So IMHO the tab's context menu would
be fine as well.

Ok, so I would argue in favor of "Copy file path" and "Select file path"
which uses the plain but absolute file path.

Best regards, Adam.
