No idea. I have been using an automator script for this for the last 5 years or so. (Highly doubt it was there from OS X day one.) In general if one “copies” or “drags" a file from Finder into a text based application (eg Terminal) you get the path and file name. Even works using the little icon in title bar of most apps (eg Preview).
