Feature Request: Add "Copy source location" action in the dev component inspector or expose underlying APIs

[Waishnav]

Hi team (cc @tannerlinsley @AlemTuzlak),

First off, huge props on the dev inspector feature in TanStack Start! The Ctrl+Shift+hover that shows exact file paths and line numbers (with clickable VS Code links) is one of the best DX touches I've seen. It's already saving a ton of time.

Current behavior

• Hovering with Ctrl+Shift shows a tooltip with the source file + line/column.
• Clicking the tooltip opens the file in VS Code (via the vscode:// protocol ig).

Requested enhancement

I'd love an option to copy the source location string (e.g., src/components/ui/button.tsx:45:12) directly to the clipboard on click (or via an alternative action).

This would replace or complement the current "open in editor" behavior. Use case: it's perfect for quickly pasting into AI coding agent prompts (Cursor, OpenCode, Claude Code , etc.) — e.g., "Refer to the Button component in button.tsx around lines 40-50" — without needing to open the editor first.

Or we could expose underlying APIs maybe like have onHoverDevInspector(), onComponentClickDevInspector(), so that user can build custom dev tool plugin and implement their custom component review layer with comment box UI (something like https://www.react-grab.com)

Possible implementation ideas

• Default click → copy to clipboard (instead of opening VS Code)
• Or keep open-in-VSCode as default, but add alternatives:
  • Alt+click or Cmd+click to copy
  • Right-click context menu with "Copy source location"
  • Small copy icon in the tooltip
• Make it configurable via devtools options

Happy to hear thoughts, or even contribute a PR if this aligns with the vision. Thanks for considering!
