What is complicated about it? I typically keep a handful of tabs open in Finder and drag and drop between them or to applications. You can also always do CMD-C and then either CMD-V to copy a file somewhere or OPT-CMD-V to move a file.

I like that in Windows I can copy-paste the location from one File Manager windows to another one. Something that you cannot do in MacOs File Manager

This is possible but needs to be done with shortcuts instead of selecting the paths in the address bar:

1. Ctrl + Cmd + C to copy the folders path

2. Cmd + N to open a new Finder window

3. Shift + Cmd + G to open the "Go to folder..." menu

4. Cmd + V to paste the path

5. Enter to go to the pasted path in the new finder window

The other option is to right click the folder and open it in a new tab. But this doesn't open a new window.

Not quit sure what you want but you can copy or drag path information from the “Path Bar” at the bottom of a finder window/tab. I do this all the time to get a path in terminal
