This is yet another reason for why I think Google should update the legacy tool and not just work on the new one.
The legacy tool could do this as far as I remember, and it could work on ALL apps, and not just debuggable ones.

Steps to Reproduce:
Suppose you work on a large app that you don't know much about, and you want to find for some UI what's the matching code and layout resources for it.
1. Use the layout inspector on the screen that you currently see.
2. Try to find how to copy the ID of some View, by right-clicking on any item from the list.
The bug is that you either get a context menu at the very top of the screen, or one that has a single item of "Nothing here".
Even on the attributes pane, you can't right click the ID or select it as text.
