How to copy from rich text field in Retool to other programs (without getting HTML code for paste)

@retool_team is there any update on the feature request ? Or any tip on copying text/html using a 3rd party library ?
Retool does not expose navigator.clipboard.write so the standard method cannot be used.

Very frustrating as we are coming from appSmith which can copy in HTML.
We currently use that to:

  1. construct our "own" HTML from a table (with hyperlinks, colors,..), then
  2. copy to clipboard with text/html mime-type, then
  3. user pastes into Gsheet or Excel. Both parse nicely the data and all formatting.

With retool, this cannot be done. Not sure why this was blocked. I was trying to use a HTML component - it does render the HTML correctly but no way to copy the rendered HTML using standard JS.
