Windows 8 "Copy As Path" from search

In Windows Explorer, I like to use the "Copy As Path" feature, which is as follows:
Right-click on a file while holding down the Shift key, and choose "Copy As Path" from the context menu. This copies the full path to the file onto the clipboard.
I would like to be able to do this directly from the Windows 8 search results when searching for a file. Currently, if I right-click on a search result, the only option that I get is "Open file location". Holding down Shift doesn't add any options.
I currently have to choose "Open file location", which opens Windows Explorer, and then from there, I can do the "Copy As Path", but I'd like to skip that middle step, and do "Copy As Path" directly from the search results.
Is there a way to add that option?

Since a while a copy action (command-c) adds the current selection to the clipboard instead of replacing the clipboard. This mostly happens while coding in TextMate but also happened in CSSedit. The action makes a distinct "click" sound. This does not happen every time I do a copy and it drives me insane. I've searched the interwebs but could not find a solution.

Are you using LaunchBar or something similar?
