Subject: [PATCH] Add clipboard copy to SelectSimilarContainer operator
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

After selecting objects in the same container, copy a `location="Name"`
filter query to the clipboard and report it — consistent with the same
behaviour in SelectSimilarType, SelectSimilarAggregate, SelectIfcClass,
and SelectSimilarMaterial.
