Description of the new feature/enhancement

I'd like to request a new feature. Usually, when you drag n' drop files or folders into the CMD, the path gets autocompleted, however this is not the case with wsl-paths.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Instead of pasting the windows-path (e.g. "C:\Users\User\Documents") it should paste a linux path (e.g. "\mnt\c\Users\User\Documents") so you can handle files more easily.

I think this is covered in #1772.

Yes it is.
I only searched for "C Path refactor", but couldnt find the issue.
