feature requestgood first issue

Description

I have checked this feature was not yet requested.

So I recently had to pay a company and they sent me a BitPay link, alright cool. However there is absolutely nowhere on this stupid widget to actually copy the address I should be sending to. There are two options... "Copy Payment URL" and "Open in Wallet" they both lead to a bitcoin:?r URL which is opening in my empty electrum wallet instead of Ledger Live.

I then tried to copy the address from Electrum... again same issue, there is nothing showing me the address I'm sending to as you can see here:

So now the only solution I have is to send from the Ledger to Electrum then request a new payment invoice,

Are there any plans to support this type of ~~fuckery~~ really great technology using CA's that are never compromised in the future?

Research direction: Review the issue comments for any proposed solutions or workarounds. Examine the codebase for existing URI handling (e.g., in src/main.js or similar). Consider whether the feature is still relevant given the repository deprecation, and if so, outline a plan to add a 'Copy Address' button that extracts the address from the bitcoin URI.
