Description

### Problem Statement

Submitting feature request made by customer. The idea is to be able to more quickly open a raw stack trace in an IDE, in this case AndroidStudio. Current steps customer follows to do this:

Current workflow (in an issue page):
1. Click the "..." menu button on "Stack Trace".
2. Select a "Raw Stack Trace" option
3. Manually make a precise selection of the stack trace with the mouse (because CRTL-A selects the whole page)
4. Click "Copy" to clipboard
5. Open IDE
6. Select "Analyze Stact Trace
7. Paste from clipboard
8. Click Ok

This is their most frequent action when working with stack traces and states they repeat this several times a day.

### Solution Brainstorm

The ideal solution would be a tiny Intellij plugin that handles intents from the web browser. So clicking a button on the Sentry web interface (e.g. "Open in IDE") would open the IDE with the stack trace pre-filled.
Firebase Crashlytics created a whole AndroidStudio plugin to preview issues and navigate stack traces.

One thing that would really improve my daily work would be jumping back and forth between web and IDE.
An option on the IDE side: "Open Sentry" which would open the current Sentry project in the web interface.
A web side option for stack trace: "Open in IDE".

Alternatively, quick and easy - button "Copy to clipboard" next to stack trace in Sentry web. This would copy the raw symbolized stack trace to the clipboard.
