All of those need two clicks : click to open the context menu, click to 
select the option.


The first one already exist, in two forms : "explore" and "open".  Also, 
select and pressing "enter" will be enough to explore that folder.  Saves 
you another step.

The second one I'm using myself too.

The third one ?  You can right-click the string in the "address" bar and 
select copy.  It would take you the same ammount of clicks.

In the worst case you would remove /one/ click from the multi-click process 
(open file-browser, click the drive, click thru the folder tree to select 
the one you want).

But congrats, you found another way to do something. Well done. Seriously.
