Description
Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to copy query output as markdown table in order to use it directly in Github/Gitlab issues.
Describe alternatives you've considered
- Copy as TSV and then use a tool like https://tableconvert.com/csv-to-markdown to convert to Markdown
- I was pointed to the preferences in #7004 , where I can set the pipe
|as a separator instead of tab. From there it is very close to a markdown table, you just need to add a line after the column headers with something like---|---, depending on number of columns.
Additional context
The alternative is fragile and, for example, does not work for JSON because of #7004

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing pgAdmin's existing query-output copy behavior and the preferences discussed in issue #7004; done means providing Markdown-table output directly, including the header separator, without relying on TSV conversion and with JSON output considered.
