Describe the improvement

I found this #147

I’d like to request better copy support in the software info dialog, especially for the install URL.

Currently, the URL is difficult to select and copy, and in some cases it is not copyable at all. This makes it inconvenient to reuse the download/install link from the app. It would be helpful if the URL and other metadata in the “Show info” window were fully selectable and copyable, ideally with both a right-click/context-menu option and a copy button.

This is a usability issue and would make the software info page much more practical.

Describe how this improvement could help users

This improvement would make it much easier for users to copy installation or download URLs directly from the software info dialog and use them on other devices or machines. In some cases, users may want to quickly share the install link with another computer, use it for offline installation, or copy it into a support ticket or documentation.
