Make Ctrl+C copy path location to applications on PowerToys Run #33937

Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

Pressing Ctrl+C on PowerToys Run only works on folders and files. It'd be great if we had the ability to press Ctrl+C to copy path location to applications on PowerToys Run. It's like holding Shift, right clicking an application's icon, and clicking Copy as path.

Scenario when this would be used?

Press the hotkey for PowerToys Run, type the name of an application, select an application by pressing the Up or Down arrow, and then press Ctrl+C. This will copy the path location to an application. For example, if we type paint in PowerToys Run and select Paint, pressing Ctrl+C copies the path location to it, and it'll be c:\windows\system32\mspaint.exe.

Supporting information

Pressing Ctrl+C on PowerToys Run after typing the name of an application and selecting it will copy the path location, so it can be pasted anywhere like Command Prompt or the Run dialog box.
