If that command string could somehow be made to be the action that takes place when the user "right/context/alternate-clicks" on a filename in Win Explorer, then yes, it would address the need. Do you know how? The mere use of the shell redirection to the POSIX (NOT Win32!!) file "/dev/clipboard" makes it seem highly unlikely that you were aware of the original statements / descriptions I made; I cannot see how these would apply outside the Cygwin BASH shell (textmode terminal) environment.
