I think it's a little more complicated than that. Part of the problem is
that what LMS displays as the file's location is not the same as the URL
that is activated when you click on the file. In the image below, the
red "1" marks the displayed location. This is the path to the file on
the system running LMS. The red "2" shows the link your browser will use
if you click on the location text. As you can see, it addresses a
virtual location created by LMS and has no relation to the actual path
to the file. So even if you right-click on the link and select "Copy
link address" (or whatever the equivalent might be in the browser you
use), you still will not have a path that you can use.

However, if you click and drag to select the location text at "1", you
should then be able to copy the actual address to the clipboard. (Right
click, "copy"; or CTRL-C.) As has been suggested, it should be possible
to set up a clipboard manager, such as CopyQ, to monitor clipboard
activity. In my case, I would want to check anything copied to the
clipboard to see if it begins with "Location:
/home/robbh/Music_collection/". If so, it would then hand it off to a
script that would handle converting the path.

Does this make sense? I don't know if I've explained it well enough.
Selecting text is not nearly as easy as a simple right click, so I don't
know if this would serve your purpose.
