1301398 - Add the ability to copy the full URL:lineNumber location of a log entry

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1457111

(DevTools :: Console, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Patrick Brosset <:pbro>]

STR:
- go to https://github.com/
- open the console
- notice that there are a few warnings/errors
- try to copy the full URL of the source of one of the warnings/errors

Actual: you can't
Expected: you should be able to.

There are 2 ways:
- select the file name with the mouse, but filenames are truncated when too long, and only the name of the file is displayed, not the absolute URL.
- right-click on the log entry and select "copy", but that copies the full message, including the short URL.

It'd be nice to be able to right-click on the link itself (file:lineNb) and get a menu item that says: "copy link address" or something.

CCing Lin as this might be something we want to do in the new front-end too.

I like that idea, it matches functionality from other places like the inspector.
