Public bug reported:

There are many cases where a use may want to copy text from a scope
preview, but they are now not able to.

For example, in my dropbox photos scope, in a preview, the user can
click a button to make a shared link to the photo. This shared link is
simply a URL text string. The user would want to copy this to, for
example, put it in email to a friend.

Currently the only way the user can get this string is by opening the
shared link (from a preview button) in the browser, tapping the browser
address bar to display the full text of the url, then copying it.

So either specified preview text or perhaps (preferably) all preview
text should be user copyable.
