Description
Feature Request
This is the disassembly view window.
We can't copy in the disassembly view window.
There is no highlight in the window either. It's unable to select the language mode to be highlighted.
If the disassembly view window can be shown in the editor window, we can select the language mode to be highlighted and copy the content
This is Clion's disassembly view, It seems to be in an editor window, It's highlighted

In Visual Studio, the disassembly view seems to be in a read-only editor, Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V works here

Research direction
The issue describes the existing disassembly view and the desired editor-style behavior, but names no files or tests. Start by locating the disassembly view implementation and its editor-window integration, then reproduce copying, text selection, and syntax-highlighting behavior. Done means the view supports selectable, copyable, highlighted content like the examples.
