Description

Long pressing on the text in the StatusDetailView opens up the context menu. Since there is already a button next to the post that opens the context menu, I think it would be useful to have the text be selectable in this view.

Would this be easy to implement? I'm still relatively new to SwiftUI, so I'm not sure what exactly would need to be done.

Just as a clarification, this would be only in the detail view, not in the timeline view. I think the timeline view should have the context menu in case people have the action buttons hidden.

Research direction

Locate the SwiftUI StatusDetailView entry point and inspect how its post text and context menu are configured. Confirm the requested behavior in the detail view only: the text should be selectable while the existing context-menu behavior remains available in the timeline view. Verify the result by long-pressing text in both views.
