I don't know how to answer those questions individually, so I'll combine it all into one answer.

The custom column is Filenames (#filenames). I chose the column type Comma-separated text, like tags, shown in the Tag browser because the link of each term/tag (or in this case, filename) allows me to right-click and quickly copy the term name (filename).

As I had explained before:

Quote:
And why tags-like column and not something else? Because I want the links-like terms that tags have. Just right-click and you can quickly copy the link text (in my case filename). For normal text, I'd have to manually select the text, make sure no line breaks/endings are selections and then copy the text.
That's what I was trying to show in this image:

And that's what I was complaining when I said the terms (filenames) in the custom, auto-generated column (based on the template you provided), despite being proper links, like the terms (filenames) in the original #filenames column, don't allow me to quickly copy the text in a similar manner. That's what I meant when I showed you this:

The options are different!

I only meant to stop because I felt like I'd be wasting everyone's time. I don't mind answering the questions at all!

Those term/tag/filename links don't really have to do anything; ideally it'd be great if they did, because then I could use it elsewhere. Like for Tags too! But the primary objective is to be able to right-click and quickly copy the text (filename). (Filtering/searching filenames is useless, I know. It's the right click option to copy that I am after.)

And I do not know how else to explain what I am after.
