Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when need to copy paragraphs with inline equations.
For MathJax v2.7, there is an option Render As Plain Source, so I can duplidate the webpage, and show the content in plain source for easy copy equations, while keep the original webpage showing equations rendered as CHTML.
For MathJax v3.2, it is now easier to copy a single equation by Copy > Latex command, but it becomes hard for copy paragraphs.

Research direction
Start by reviewing MathJax v3.2's context-menu implementation and the existing Copy > Latex command behavior. Define how Render As Plain Source should expose paragraph content while preserving the original page's CHTML rendering, then verify the option works for inline equations and surrounding text.
