Command-clicking on the window title gives you a popup menu of all the enclosing folders - assuming that the window in question is associated to a file on disk (otherwise, of course, that would not make sense). So, for example, nothing happens if you command-click in the title of the preferences window, or LaTeX panel, or Find panel. The console also is not technically a file - it is more of a temporary display of the output of a typeset run (it can contain ouput from latex, dvips, etc.). There is no file, so there is no command-clicking to reveal a path.
