Galaxy: offer 'copy to clipboard' button on datasets

[martenson]

To make clear and easier that people can share the datasets using that URL.

@natefoo 's nice idea

Do you want to introduce new button copy download URL to the clipboard in histories?

[martenson]

Maybe a dropdown on the "save" icon that has Download and Copy link options?

[mvdbeek]

The download button is probably our 2nd most used button, as a user I would probably not be happy about the additional click, I think. An additional button (or dropdown, if we can think of other thing we need to add) when the dataset is expanded still seems ok to me.

We could use https://fontawesome.com/icons/link as an icon for "copy link"

[martenson]

I suspect https://fontawesome.com/icons/clipboard is sort of a standard, at least on the websites I visit.

[nsoranzo]

I think the link icon makes it clearer that what is copied to the clipboard is the link to the dataset, not its content. Twitter uses this icon when sharing a tweet.

[OlegZharkov]

Ok I will add this button then.

Basically, I agree with @martenson, we probably should use https://fontawesome.com/icons/clipboard. Most of the time it means clipboard

Note that we already have such interface for copying, with another icon.

Ah, I remember that one.... it's from https://github.com/galaxyproject/galaxy/pull/10124
we should use the same symbol then
