Usability improvement.
this is what service menus are for.
this would be a relatively strait forward service menu to create.
i found these resources helpful.

Apparently it’s not possible to have this feature, however since then I’ve encountered a bug that behaved just like I wanted this feature to behave.
if you use the mv command on the file it will generate a new file and move it to the next open position on your desktop based on how you have the arrange settings.
so in theory, you could create a service menu that used the mv command to generate a new instance of the file(s) selected which would relocate it on the desktop.
this might play havoc with versioned backups tho since it is a “new” file
