Description

Allow us to select pictures and copy links via long click.
See this picture as an example of my feed. This is not a single post but instead viewed in my feed.

Example1:
I long click a picture and expect to be able to copy the picture.
Instead I am presented with a context menu for the post itself as context

Example2:
I try to select the URL by long clicking it because that is how I can preview it in iOS.
I expect to see a webview preview or just a preview of the url itself.
I am again presented with the context menu.

My wish is that Ice Cubes becomes more context friendly.
Let me interact with media and all other clickable stuff.

Lastly
Example3:
I want to select the text of a post because I want to use it as base for my own post.
Or I just want to select a single word because I want to research it.
I click the text itself and nothing happens.
I long click the text itself and I am again presented with the context menu.
I expected to be able to select text and parts of text. Instead I need to choose copy text in the context menu.

Research direction

Start by locating the feed post view and its existing context-menu handling, then trace how media, URLs, and post text receive gestures in the SwiftUI iOS client. Compare the current behavior with the requested interactions and define completion as supporting appropriate long-click or right-click actions for each content type without replacing the post-level menu.
