Element names are hard to copy

I watched @mblanco suffer with a common task of reporting on Redmine about starting a new process. She wanted to put some element names in a comment, and those names are long file names that are tedious to type.

To copy an element name, she used the icon in the breadcrumb to start renaming the element, which puts the name in a convenient <input> where it is easy to select the text and copy it.

The element name cannot be copied from the path breadcrumb because is-active items in a breadcrumb are marked as pointer-events: none; by Bulma. The element name is also annoying to copy from the details panel because the type name is also selected when double-clicking.
