Copy as Rich Text from chat output for pasting into Slack, Teams, email

Feature request for product/service

Chat

Describe the request

When the AI produces formatted output in the chat panel (bold, tables, bulleted lists, etc.), the content renders visually with full formatting. However, when you copy it – either via the copy button or Ctrl+C on a selection – only plain text lands on the clipboard. This means pasting into rich-text-aware apps like Slack, Microsoft Teams, Notion, or email clients loses all formatting.

The problem in practice: I asked the AI to summarize Jira changelog data for a Slack discussion. The chat rendered a nicely formatted table with bold headers, a bulleted list, and a TL;DR with bold labels. But when I copied and pasted into Slack, every *, _, and table border was gone – just flat plain text. Slack’s mrkdwn syntax doesn’t work on paste either (only when typed), so there’s no workaround short of opening a separate HTML file in a browser and copying from there.

Proposed solution: When copying from the chat panel, place text/html on the clipboard alongside the existing text/plain. The chat already renders Markdown to HTML internally – this would just expose that HTML to the clipboard so destination apps can read it.

This would make the copy button (and Ctrl+C) produce output that pastes correctly into:

Slack (preserves bold, italic, tables as native table blocks, lists, links)
Microsoft Teams
Notion
Email clients (Outlook, Gmail)
Google Docs / Word
Current workaround: Write the HTML to a temp file, open in a browser, select all, copy from the browser. This works but defeats the purpose of having nicely formatted output right in the chat.

copying HTML tables from agent transcript into slack used to work correctly. some weeks ago, this broke and now just pastes as plain text in slack. would be great to have an option to copy as HTML on right click/from context menu/cmd+shift+c keyboard shortcut
