Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Free form text fields displayed in font properties page often contains information and names which you might want to select, copy and search or open in browser (URLs, e-mail addresses, name of designer or font foundry).

Very common case is standard copyright notice template used by SIL OFL . Which looks something like this:

Copyright (c) <dates>, <Copyright Holder> (<URL|email>),
with Reserved Font Name <Reserved Font Name>.

Copyright (c) <dates>, <additional Copyright Holder> (<URL|email>),
with Reserved Font Name <additional Reserved Font Name>.

Copyright (c) <dates>, <additional Copyright Holder> (<URL|email>).

In case of derivative fonts there can be more than one relevant URL so it doesn't fit the standard fields. I have seen many fonts where the Copyright notice section contains more relevant URL (for example Github page of specific project), while the Vendor/Designer URL leads to generic top level monotye or Adobe website.

Describe the solution you'd like
Make properties page text selectable just like it can be in License page.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Font manager shows some of links at the bottom of screen I am guessing that those are the URLs from dedicated URL fields like URL of Vendor (11) or URL of Designer (12).

This is insufficient not everything fits into standard fields defined by font format and it's not just the URLs you might want to copy.
