Public room directory components should be anchors

[turt2live]

Description

Not being able to right click and get a URL is somewhat annoying. Lacking the ability to join multiple rooms I often find myself wanting to copy the matrix.to link to my clipboard so I can join it more easily. Every time I'm disappointed at the lack of URL options as the elements are divs rather than anchors.

I'm happy to give this product 👍 , Jano will add some design examples

I'm sharing a (deprecated) mockup from Threads, but we'd just do basically the same in this context. That is, before the current Share action in the contextual menu we would add a Copy link one-click action, using the same icon as in the mockup.

@kittykat Both this instance and the Copy link to thread one would still be missing proper feedback, though. (e.g. a Link copied to clipoard notification).

The app, according to Germain, seems to be missing a centralized place for handling such type of notifications (typically, a toast / snack bar component) so that would need to be handled separately from this issue, to avoid blocking it. What do you think?

[kittykat]

Agreed, lets not block on that
