What's Wrong?
In the VS Code Extension: When I open any image I posted in a prior chat message, nothing happens upon clicking copy. The right click overlay/menu does not actually reference toward the image but only the chat text message, if even. When I would paste it afterwards, only whatever I had in my clipboard before will be pasted.
<img width="774" height="509" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/318e3520-763f-4593-beb8-ee1e2fe61f18" />
What Should Happen?
It should actually copy the image opened, this way it can be reused for other chats or referenced.
