Feature request - the ability to copy the link of a tab from the contextual menu.

[Jonathan Tyzack]

Hi Scott,

thanks for the response. It would be nice to have the formatting  
options in a contextual menu as well (i.e. if you can add a Copy Link  
to the thumbnail's contextual menu, then Copy Link as BB format and/ 
or Copy Link as HTML format would be really nice to have too).  
Christopher's script is great, but it takes a bit to find the link  
you want if you have a lot of tabs open in your window...

Cheers,

Jonathan
