[feature request] Add local network path mapping per library with quick copy-to-clipboard functionality for local file access #177

Description

@1985xman

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When browsing files within a library in MediaLyze, it is currently not straightforward to access the actual file or folder on a local home network (e.g., via a local network path or UNC path / mapped drive) based on where it is stored.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would love to see an option in the library settings where users can define a local network path (or base path) for each library.
When viewing a file inside MediaLyze, it should display this corresponding local path directly.

Ideally, it would be great if users could access this path quickly. Since modern web browsers heavily restrict opening local paths or the Windows Explorer directly via standard file:// links due to security policies, a reliable fallback is essential:

Primary / Fallback option: A dedicated "Copy path to clipboard" button right next to the displayed path. With a single click, the path is copied, allowing users to easily paste it into Windows Explorer or the "Run" dialog (Win + R) to open the folder immediately.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently, manually translating the container or server paths to local network paths requires extra steps and manual typing.

Additional context
This would greatly improve the workflow when managing or checking media files directly from the MediaLyze interface on a local home network, bridging the gap between container paths and the user's local operating system.
