Need UX input for this. Problem with allowing the user to select text in
the preview is that it interferes with dragging the preview.

We maybe need to resort to a Share button (ContentType.Link) or only
allow selecting for copy/paste with a mouse and not with touchscreen?

Title:
  Preview text should be user copyable

Bug description:
  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.
