Description
When you click on the copy link sub-menu item in the Dropbox menu in Files, a notification shows saying that the link has been copied but the clipboard remains empty. If I click on the notification, the Dropbox link opens in a browser tab.
This has been the case for a while now.
OS: Fedora 43

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Dropbox menu's copy-link action in Files on GNOME Wayland, then trace the context-menu action that reports the link as copied. Done means the link is present in the clipboard after the action, while the notification and link-opening behavior remain correct.
