Copy on links (tiny one!)

What is the feature?

When copying a link on the frontend via the copy icon, the text of the link is copied instead of the link itself.
For example, this link: Home - Forest Admin, when copied, would put “Home - Forest Admin” in the clipboard.

It seems like when copying a link, the intent is to get the link itself. Or maybe both in markdown, or maybe a prompt.

What problem does this solve for you?

Tiny issue when copying a link and seeing what at first seemed like nonsense when I pasted it.
Note that there’s a very easy workaround for me on Windows → right-click, copy link. But I got used to copying all fields with that new shiny copy icon :smiley:

Who else would be using this feature?

Anyone using links basically.

Hello @kll
Thanks for the suggestion. :folded_hands:
It is indeed a change worth considering. We will evaluate the needs and use cases of our userbase and let you know if we move towards this behaviour.

Hello again,
The copy button now copies links instead of displayed value :tada:
