Give your program a name (“Get Path”, for example), save it somewhere safe (your user’s Documents folder), and set the “File Format” pop-up to “Application”, then click Save. Now navigate to the spot where you saved your program, and drag it to the Dock or to a Finder’s sidebar or toolbar area.

When it quits, switch to your target application and press Command-V to paste the path.
