Research direction
Investigate the AdvancedDataGrid source code in the royale asjs repository, focusing on context menu and clipboard handling. Look for existing context menu implementations in similar components like DataGrid. Determine how to add a 'Copy row as text' option that formats cell data as tab separated values. Review comments in issue #1022 for user expectations. Consider checking if there's a bug or missing feature in the right click menu registration.
