How to copy a path in a JSON in IntelliJ IDEA?

Question

Is it possible to copy a path in a JSON file? For example in this file:

{
  "a": {
    "b": {
      "c": "keyC"
    }
  }
}

when I am on a "keyC" and I would press some hotkey, I'd get an a.b.c string in the clipboard.

Here's an example of doing this from my IDE:
