## Message

```
csv_preview: Allow copying cell and column header content (#61769)

# Objective

- There was no way to copy a cell's or a column header's text out of the
CSV preview table (at all).

## Solution

- Right-clicking a table cell now copies its full content to the
clipboard; the cell tooltip shows the content plus a "Right click to
copy content" hint.
- Right-clicking a column header name copies the column name to the
clipboard, with the same tooltip pattern ("Right click to copy column
name").

## Testing

- Right-click a cell: content is copied, tooltip shows the hint.
- Right-click a column header: column name is copied, tooltip shows the
hint.
