Problem Statement

I saw there is an action in the hover widget "Copy as expression", which copies the field's path (I'm talking about vtsls, but I guess it works the same everywhere), but it would be great to be able to copy the expression's value itself (especially when it's a very long string, which gets truncated with an ellipsis somewhere in the middle - both in repl and hover).

Possible Solutions

With repl I currently use sth like this

custom_commands = {
          ['.copy'] = function(text)
            local evaluated = repl.execute(text, {
              context = 'clipboard',
            })
            -- vim.fn.setreg(register, response.result)
          end,
        },

and with hover widget actions I guess it would be similar - just add an action that copies the expression with clipboard context
