When you create Share links (copy link) to files on a OneDrive (OfB) or files on a SharePoint site (synched using OfB), the links are only usable in a browser:
Typically the link looks like this ridiculous path (for external sharing) ..
https://somedomain_com-my.sharepoint.com/:x:/g/personal/files_somedomain_com/EcLaSOgtu8BEnn1gHu6WzdQBmm_xxS94dd45e6j2CaA?e=9B2df1
Or resolved as this equally uninterprettable path ...

What I would like is the ability to link to files in the Windows Explorer location (under OneDrive path or SharePoint)
I am aware that the %username% is not supported (blocked) in hyperlinks, so that avenue was tried.
Is there a way to copy the path such that the recipient is directed to the file in their Windows Explorer view?
