When copying items in explorer there is no current method to change the destination file name other then manually renaming it after the copy has completed.

If you copy paste a file into the same destination, explorer appends " - Copy" to the file name and if you are copying a file into a different destination folder that contains a file with the same name it prompts to replace or skip.

It would be awesome to be able to do some kind of special file/folder paste (win+shift+v to avoid colliding with win+v?) that opens a dialog to set the destination file name.

Would be handy for making duplicates of large files without needing to wait for the copy to finish before renaming.
EG:
If I want to make a copy of a large file such as My_Custom_Windows_Image-v1.wim with the intention of renaming it to v2.

It sounds like a special case of #3098
