Improved Property Dialog

This project makes some small improvements to the properties dialog, which is available with every item within Innovator. The ability to quickly view the ID of an item was removed and replaced with the 'Copy ID' button. A hover action has been added to that button to quickly preview the GUID.

Additionally, there is a new button on the properties dialog, which generates a QR Code which links directly to the selected item. From here you can copy or download the generated QR Code to use however you see fit. You are able to right click to copy to clipboard or save the image to your client machine. To generate QR Codes we utilize a third party library called QRCode.js, and can be found here.
