Whence is a pocketknife that you seem to want to be a Leatherman tool.

If you want the wrench analogy, wrenches fit on nuts, and nuts of a
particular shape.  The shape of nut that whence fits on is a single
word that might be a key in one of the command-related hash tables.
A full file path is not that kind of nut.  YOU are making whence hard
to understand by trying to feed it things it wasn't designed to accept.
