Feature: Add "copy" option to right click menu for sidebar and widgets #4262

Is your feature request related to a problem? In Windows Explorer, the user can copy a DVD in the main view, where the drives are displayed, and paste it on the Desktop.

Windows Explorer automatically creates a main folder with the name of the DVD and then the internal data (files and folders) are copied.

Requirements

Should we implement this for drives, if so, what would be the expected functionality? (A full copy of the drive contents/create a shortcut to it)

I'll implement this when @ferrariofilippo implements context for widgets

I would expect to copy the contents. We can add an option to paste as a shortcut but that's a different feature.

For some reason, primary items don't appear in the sidebar context menu (I'm looking into it but help would be appreciated)

@hecksmosis have you had any luck?

Right-click context menu items are created manually in sidebar. Check out: GetLocationItemMenuItems(INavigationControlItem item, CommandBarFlyout menu) at Files.App.ViewModels.UserControls.SidebarViewModel
