Unable to copy name from WIM message window

[hrlmartins]

Describe the bug When trying to copy the name of the player I'm chatting with it throws an error and does not copy the name.

Addon Version 3.12.1

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open chat with friend
2. Wait for some reply
3. Right click the nick and choose "Copy Character Name""
4. See error

Expected behavior Being able to copy the name of the player I'm chatting with.

Not sure if just the name or the name and the server should be copied (now with cross-realm guilds it would be great)

Additional context Providing the stacktrace:

Hmm... Looks like its a protected function now. I wont be able to call it, I will see if I can instead handle it like we do URLs and show a popup with selectable/copiable text.

Just checking in for an update on this one. Thanks for your support.

Also want to note that I am able to properly copy character names from other third party addons - such as "Inven Raid Frames" addon.
