A kind of crude workaround is using the whole /Users/whatever/file with
spaces, selecting it with first button and 1-2 chording it to Get. This
works on Mac, problem is that it's quite horrible to do. An intermediate
solution may be to use some piping rule like sp:filename with spaces, but I
don't remember if piping works with right-button and selected text or
follows the same rules as opening a file.
