Window title bar on macOS doesn't offer a path browser any more on CMD-click

Brief Summary
Older versions had a Popup Button in the title bar which, when CMD-clicking onto the window title, sort of simulated the most important part of those UI Elements, which are present in all document windows of NSDocument based native macOS apps, and which allow you to browse the current document's folder by opening it in a Finder window (the native NSDocument window one offers a lot more, incl. renaming the opened file for example).
It's a bit unfortunate that this popup menu is now gone, and I wonder if that was intentional or by mistake. It made life a lot easier, particularly when having the database history (Recent Databases) disabled for privacy/security reasons.
Version 2.7.1 still had it, so it must have been removed afterwards. Unfortunately I can't make a screenshot of it, since this version prevents me from doing just that (I just get an empty screen). But it seems to be merely a standard menu listing all path components:
Steps to Reproduce
- Open a database file, no need to authenticate
- CMD-click onto the title
Expected Versus Actual Behavior
CMD-clicks on the window's title used to show a little menu listing the path components of the currently opened database file's full path in order to browse them on selection in a Finder window. Later versions don't have that any more.

The file open dialog is managed by Qt, so not sure they may have disabled this behavior? Either way we didn't explicitly remove it (had no idea that existed) so we cant add it back.
@phoerious that's exactly what I meant. Not in the file open dialog but on the main window. So someone must have removed it, either intentionally (maybe it did collide with something in a later qt version) or by accident. It would really be nice to have it back.
That was indeed removed. Here's the commit that did that: https://github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/commit/832340e209949be1ef4d057c70dc7a08450f3f36#diff-1db3ae4f87f707eca52da4b7068c06ea14a9c5f27ab38eafc1f864fe0655fec0L1052
What a strange feature, but i guess we can consider adding this back. We removed those calls for a reason.

it's actually been around on macOS for quite a while, nothing strange about lt. Has been introduced with macOS 10.10 (Yosemite) over 10 years ago... 🤓 So we long-time macOS users have really gotten used to it very much.
The original one can do a lot more and comes in extremely handy when handling files and document bundles:
