Forcing direct product link into category display

The default behaviour of OC when using SEO friendly URLs is to display direct product links (
www.example.com/link-to-product) out of its category location i.e. with breadcrumbs "Home > Product Name" and the category menu unexpanded. This can leave users a bit lost if they land on a page from a referral from (say) Google Product Search. Is it possible to force the direct link to display the product within its category structure i.e. with breadcrumbs ("Home > Category > Subcategory > Product Name" and with the menu expanded to the correct category? Failing this, is it possible to force the Google Product Feed to use the full categorised URLs instead of the short direct URLs?

And, which category would that be?
It's a logical question, considering that products can be linked to multiple categories.

Good point, perhaps the first one returned from the db query?
