Add an Output panel right-click behavior to copy selected text like the terminal

[mrTyom]

Feature request

In the integrated terminal, VS Code can be configured so that right-click copies the current selection to the clipboard. It would be useful to have the same option for the Output panel.

Current behavior

When text is selected in the Output panel and the user right-clicks, VS Code opens the context menu. Copying requires choosing Copy from that menu or using Ctrl+C.

Desired behavior

Provide a setting for the Output panel that lets right-click copy the selected text directly to the clipboard, similar to the terminal right-click copy behavior.

For example, this could be exposed as an Output-panel equivalent of terminal.integrated.rightClickBehavior, with an option such as copySelection.

Why this would help

The Output panel is often used to inspect logs and command output. Copying small fragments from logs is a frequent workflow, and matching the terminal behavior would make the interaction faster and more consistent across VS Code output surfaces.

Screenshot / context

The current Output panel context menu already contains Copy, but right-click always opens the menu instead of copying the selected text directly.
