Is there a way to copy string from the contac pane to the clip board?

A lot of times I need to copy a Address book contact field value. Since I keep the contact pane open I can see the contact field value and want to just copy it to the clipboard. See screen capture. Is there a way to permit values in the contact pane to get highlighted and copied to the clipboard? I know I can double click the Directory pane and open the contact then navigate to tab that has the value I want to copy the clip board. But why do I have to do all that when the value is already on the screen?

Uploaded screen capture.

That's something I'd like to have too.

Christ1 are you saying it is hard to do? Or that no one has asked so we are now taking votes on the feature request?  ;-)
