Would be awesome to have a button to copy the event data as plain text, similar to google calendar when it has a videocall link, but for all events. This is an example of the copied text in google calendar:

Tancament Trimestral
Dimarts, 15 de de juliol · 09:30-10:30
Zona horària: Europe/Brussels
Informació per unir-se a Google Meet
Enllaç de la videotrucada: https://meet.google.com/mjt-j...
O marca: ‪(US) +1 323-510-... PIN: ‪889#

Use case, some times atendees receive invite in spam (or they forgot or whatever), and they ask to send the details via email or whatsapp, telegram, etc... This way the event could be easily shared without an ics file, just plain text.

Describe the solution you'd like

A copy button for every event that copies the basic details of the event:

  • Title of the event
  • Date and time
  • Location
  • Description

Additionally would be an excellent option to add the same copy button near each assistant, that would also copy a confirmation link for the contact.

Research direction

No source files or tests are identified in the issue. Start at the event detail UI and trace how event title, date/time, location, and description are rendered; check for existing clipboard or sharing actions. Done means a copy control produces readable plain text with those details, with attendee confirmation links treated as an additional scope choice.
