Another way to add fields and functions from the Browser instead of drag-and-drop

It is not always intuitive to the user that you can add Jet functions to a worksheet from the Browser by dragging and dropping. And it is not always apparent what is dropping and where it will drop when you do drag.

@Gabriele,- there is already a Copy function. If you right click on a table or field, a menu displays with 'Copy name' as an option.

I also notice that users try to drag and drop just the names when they are doing data discovery/building their mockups. Maybe we could have a "copy" function so they could copy the exact table or field names into a mockup?
