Description

### Description

Hi DBeaver team,

After upgrading to **DBeaver 25.0.1**, I noticed that the **Advanced Copy → Format: JSON** feature is no longer available when right-clicking on selected rows in the Data Editor.

---

#### Notes:
- The [25.0.1 changelog](https://dbeaver.io/2025/03/23/dbeaver-25-0-1/) mentions changes to the context menu but doesn’t mention removal of Advanced Copy formats.
- If this was removed intentionally, could you please clarify the recommended alternative?
- If not, this seems like an unintended regression.

Thanks again for your continued work on the project — DBeaver is an indispensable tool for our team.

### DBeaver Version

Community Edition 25.0.1

### Operating System

Windows 11

### Database and driver

Microsoft JDBC Driver for SQL Server (MSSQL)
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver

### Steps to reproduce

1. Run a query and view the results.
2. Select one or more rows.
3. Right-click → **Advanced Copy**.
4. **Expected:** Option to choose `Format: JSON` (alongside Text, CSV, etc.)
5. **Actual:** JSON option is missing.

### Additional context

#### Why it matters:
- This feature was critical for quickly exporting structured data from result sets.
- It helped with API testing, mocking data, and quick prototyping.
- The alternative (full data export) is more cumbersome and less flexible.
