On the Mac, the default behaviour when you drop a binary file onto an editor window (TextEdit, TeXShop) or a shell window (Terminal), is to insert the absolute full path for the file at the pointer.

However, where things would get tricky is the syntax to use for "odd" characters. For example, a space in the path is translated by default to "\ " in Terminal, but not in TeXShop where the \ would confuse TeX. I daren't even speak of what might happen for non-ascii characters, like the ø mentioned recently, or in French œ à é etc., depending on the encoding setting in the editor window and what \includegraphics allows in file names.
