Description
### What
Allow copying from notes in the trash. Currently, there is no way to interact with notes in the trash (edit, copy, whatever).
### Why
I understand why it's not possible to *edit* notes in the trash, but it seems allowing copying would be fine. It's not uncommon that I want to pull some info from something in the trash. The current workflow is clunky - I need to undelete it, then go find it in my list of all notes, copy text, then delete it again.
### How
I imagine notes in trash would still not be *editable* - that makes sense. I would think though that it might be a small change to display a static view where text could be highlighted and copied.
---
For my workflows this would be a moderate-high priority (but lower if my other request is confirmed, allowing undo after deleting a note).
Thanks for the consideration!

Research direction
The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the trash-note view and its existing edit and interaction handling. Done means note text in the trash can be selected and copied while remaining non-editable, with the existing undelete workflow no longer required.
