copy/paste ability for Tor circuit information

When on TB at a particular site, clicking on the green lock displays the circuit information. It would be useful to be able to copy to paste from the nodes, especially in scenarios where the nodes matter, like a potentially MITM done by an exit. At least getting the IP would be good, but I'd give two cookies if it included the fingerprint.

TIA!

This is the relevant discussion from 20200828 on #tor:

23:31 <+gman999> on tb, i can't copy the IP address of a node in the circuit

00:01 gman999: i am not able to copy it either (linux, latest tb), there is a "click to copy" for the URL though

00:04 <+gman999> right.. probably a useful thing for things like conveying bad exits

00:07 yeah, i always wanted a "click to copy fingerprint" button, but there's probably not a lot of demand for that

00:09 <+gman999> there should be some basic diagnostic tools like that...

00:09 <+gman999> even if not clearly displayed to the average user

00:24 <+arma> gman999: that seems like it's worth a ticket to me

00:25 <+arma> "i want to be able to copy-paste the info in the circuit display, and tor browser doesn't think it's text"
