Research direction
Investigate the preview panel UI code (likely in src/gui/) to identify where fields are displayed. Look for existing copy functionality or clipboard handling in the codebase. Review any comments in the issue for additional context or requirements. Ensure the clipboard clearing timer is implemented using QTimer or similar.
