After all, the good old way, the one reached with the above simple solution and yielding something like:
VolumeName:path:to:the:item[:or:perhaps:folder:]
is the natural way to express paths under Mac OS since its very beginning.
A casual user will understand it immediately, and an application needing a posix path should be able to operate the conversion.
Services>Finder>Reveal, etc, is not able to perform that conversion.
