In SharePoint, when you select a file, click the ellipses button and choose "Detail", a pane opens up. If you scroll down this pane, which can be long, near the end there is a "Path" listed and a button that allows you to copy the selected files' path to the Clipboard:
We want to allow our user's to generate this same simple path without having to use the steps above, but rather use a Power Automate flow. We are aware of the "Copy Link" option, but this generates a much more complex link, which I've been told is causing issues and confusion. Here is a comparison of the two links, the 2nd one being what we want to produce:
Path:
https://ourcompany.sharepoint.com/Shared%20Documents/SPEC%20Org%20Chart.pdf
This flow would need to be available to all Libraries and files inside SharePoint. It's really just a time saver for an existing functionality.

I'm looking for a way to put this function in a text column that holds the url. Like the json email button link on a people picker that everyone seems to use.
Thanks for your help. I broke my last question out as a distinct post and set your reply as the Solution.
Okay that helped, thanks (see below).
Now how would I make this flow available to ALL libraries and ALL documents in our site? I used the "For a selected file" SharePoint connector, which requires a single Library. I hoped that selecting the root "Documents" library would make it available everywhere but that is not the case. Is there another connector to use for this type of global file behavior?
If so, then you can use HTML and create a reference to a link with a personalized message!
For example, what the user shows in this post:
Solved: How to insert a "Clck Here" in an email? - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)
Instead of Click Here for Details, you can enter the name of the file or something similar. Let me know if that works!
Yes. They want to email these particular links to one another
The goal is to either:
1) Use a PA flow to copy the file link to the Clipboard
AND/OR
2) Use a PA flow to start a new email with the file link inside the body.
They would also prefer that this flow appear within the ellipses (3 dot) context menu if possible.
Thanks
Checking on that... (thanks)
