[suggestion] Add "copy to clipboard" button

Thanks for this addon, it's extremely useful. However, I feel there is some strange UX behavior that took me a second to figure out:

I was looking for a button to export the data and it took some trial and error to realize you need to select your geometry nodes element from the dropdown to actually export it. IMHO this goes against how dropdowns are used pretty much anywhere else. It's especially counter intuitive when there is only a single GN element in your project, which means it is already 'selected'. image

Maybe it would make more sense to select the element from the dropdown, and add a simple "copy to clipboard" button underneath the dropdown to trigger the actual copying? image

To me it would even make more sense to remove the dropdown alltogether, and just have a "copy to clipboard" button that exports the currently open GN element, but I can imagine you've added the dropdown to be able to quickly export multiple GN in sequence.
