In my opinion, this doesn't feel like a proper pass/UNIX behaviour, with 
it asking for user input repeatedly.  There has been the proposal in the 
past to make pass find show complete paths [1], which would allow you to 
put it into primary selection and pasting it very easily, but I remember 
this not going anywhere. That said, I'm following this mail up with such 
a patch.

[1]: either based on find(1), or using something like `tree -Ffi | grep 
-v '/$'`
