Bug Description
There are many cases where a use may want to copy text from a scope preview, but they are now not able to.
For example, in my dropbox photos scope, in a preview, the user can click a button to make a shared link to the photo. This shared link is simply a URL text string. The user would want to copy this to, for example, put it in email to a friend.
Currently the only way the user can get this string is by opening the shared link (from a preview button) in the browser, tapping the browser address bar to display the full text of the url, then copying it.
So either specified preview text or perhaps (preferably) all preview text should be user copyable.

Need UX input for this. Problem with allowing the user to select text in the preview is that it interferes with dragging the preview.
We maybe need to resort to a Share button (ContentType.Link) or only allow selecting for copy/paste with a mouse and not with touchscreen?
