I do not quite understand. But if you drag eg an image from the drawer/ 
Finder to an HTML document TextMate will insert the relative path seen  
from that HTML document, this ensures that the HTML doc can see the  
image file later on.

If you did select the file in question simply press ⇧⌘S (Save As)  
to duplicate it.

TextMate doesn't listen on the ⇧^C, thus deleting that short-cut in  
the Math bundle won't work.

If you're inside a CSS doc or inside a CSS scope (ie if your caret in  
inside of "<style type="text/css">…</script> of an HTML file) press  
⇧⌘C. From others ^⎋ > CSS > Insert Color…

In addition ^⌘R will select the current doc in the drawer.

If you need your own way to display the name simply create a new  
tmcommand in the bundle editor:
Input: Discard:
Output: Show as Tooltip
Command:
echo "$TM_FILEPATH"

and bind it to any short-cut.
