Remove quotes and auto-hyperlink when using Explorer's "Copy as path" context menu

I frequently use Shift+Right-Click and 'Copy as path' context menu.
But when pasting, it results in a quoted version of the file path e.g.

"C:\Folder\myFile.txt"

After pasting it, it is really annoying having to remove the quotes and then hyperlink it to itself. Anyone aware of an alternate method that removes the quotes and/or hyperlinks to its own location?

If you are in a position to install a 3rd party application I can recommend Path Copy Copy. You can customise the options that display in the right click menu within Explorer to show only the types of links you use most.
