While I know some applications show full path names in their MRU, I personally consider 
that suboptimal. File names can be very long which could result in very wide menus. To deal 
with that some applications put the MRU in a secondary menu and/or truncate the file 
names, which IMO partly reduces the usefulness of the full file name again.

For that reason GnuCash has opted to show the full path location in the status bar when you 
hover your mouse over one of the history menu items.

There has been some discussion on adding more details to the Properties menu in the past, 
but there was no consensus so it never materialized.
