[FEATURE REQUEST]: Multi-select bulk-copy actions for the MR Dashboard

[narendran-kannan]

Problem: Copying details for several merge requests at once (links, references, branch names, issue links) currently means clicking the per-row copy icon repeatedly and pasting one by one. There's no way to grab a batch in a usable format. We need this feature in this AI Agent Era 😄

Proposal Add row multi-select to the dashboard table with a bulk-copy toolbar.

Behavior

• Checkbox per row + a select-all checkbox in the header.
• A sticky action toolbar appears at the top of the table only when ≥1 row is selected; shows the selection count and a Clear button.
• Choose what to copy: MR links · MR references (!241471) · MR titles · branch names · issue links · all fields.
• Choose the output format: Plain · Markdown · CSV (default: Markdown links).
• Live preview of the generated text before copying.
• On copy, an inline success message confirms (e.g. "Copied 3 items").
• Existing per-row copy icons (reference / branch / issue) remain for one-offs.

@pedropombeiro 👋🏼 I'd like to work on this, if you think this enhancement is worth implementing :)

@narendran-kannan what do you think of making a poor-man's version of it by using Shift+Mouse Click as a modifier to append to the clipboard? Should be a much smaller change.

@pedropombeiro But we'd lose different types of copying. Currently, there's no way to copy the MR link, only the ID can be copied. So I have to right-click and copy it, and in that case, Shift + Click wouldn't work, right?

I think we could change the logic to copy the full URL. I don't really use the old logic these days (where only the ID is copied).

@pedropombeiro Do you think this approach is simple and quick? 🔽
