i.e. After clicking it, duplicate the item, allow editing the new file name, and confirm it when "enter" is pressed.

I believe we've been collecting requests for copy/move actions in the project panel in another thread, so I'm going to close this one in favour of the other. Be sure to +👍 it to show you're interested, and add your request to have the action appear in the right-click actions menu.

There is a subtask in this issue that covers this:

Maybe that tracking issue should be split out into multiple issues.
