Description

Description of the new feature / enhancement

The File Explorer preview pane for markdown do nothing when selecting text and right click on it. It'll be great if it is possible to do copy text (and copy link/image) from markdown preview pane.

Scenario when this would be used?

Copying text / image / links while previewing markdown documents!

Supporting information

Like the context menu for Microsoft Word document in the preview pane.

Edit: This also applies to Monoco preview.
