How can I obtain the full-path names of files read with WorkbookConnections?

How can I programmatically obtain the full-path names of files that are read using WorkbookConnections in Excel? Specifically, what VBA code or methods can I use to extract and display these full-path names, especially when the connections are linked to external data sources such as text files or databases? Are there any best practices or potential challenges to be aware of when trying to retrieve these paths for use in automation or reporting tasks?
