[Feature Request] Add "Copy as" actions to Results View

Start in the Results View and inspect the existing "Save as" actions and their output formats. Determine how results are currently serialized, then define the supported "Copy as" formats and UI placement; done means users can copy the selected formats from the Results View with output consistent with saving.

There's options to save as JSON, CSV, or even Excel, but my workflows rarely have me saving results. Instead sharing them in chat threads and comment sections of my company's team and project management tools; especially if the results are one-row results.

I'd like to request "Copy As" actions for the Results View.

From a UI/UX perspective, layered icons with your typical "copy" or "clipboard" icon as the top layer and the output format as the bottom layer would be sufficient. You could line them up below the current "Save as" actions in the results view. For short enough viewports, you could probably collapse the "Save as" actions and "Copy as" actions into their own context menus or even have a "..." menu at the bottom of the actions for "the rest".

Useful "Copy As" actions off the top of my head.

There are rendering questions with regards to certain data-types (i.e. jsonb), but I'll leave those implementation answers to the extension developers and community. I'd expect the outputs to be generally close to how they are outputted when I "Save as".

I recognize, and concede, that large results are better served by the "Save as" actions. Maybe there's a character threshold that disables "Copy as" actions or maybe you just let the users deal with the consequences of copying 10,000 rows of 100 columns to their clipboard. Maybe you prompt for confirmation when a copy would be better served by a save. If I were the user, I would know based on the results whether I'm saving or even attempting to copy anyways.

I'm also sure there are many other formats you could save/copy as. The ones listed are examples of formats I've seen or would want myself. If there's one I'd like first, it's json, because it's the most flexible, and probably easiest to implement of the bunch. Second, markdown because I'm seeing more and more tools support markdown input for AI Agents.
