Copy playername+realm to clipboard

Hey,
I have been searching for an addon that can copy a playername + realm from a battleground.

The reason is to make sure the name is not spelled wrong, and it makes it alot easier with names that have ´ dots and other special characters in their name.

Since i can not find an addon that does this i would like to request someone to make one.

What i would like:
Copy playername together with realmname (Playername-Realmname)
It is copied either to the clipboard or to a note-window in wow (where you can copy it from)
If possible, add the current Battleground-Type + Current realmtime.

Example: Playername-Kazzak , Arathi Basin at 21:00

To be more specific, i want to be able to target a player OR click the players name in the Scorelist in a battleground > and from there have an option to copy a line of text.
The Prat addon has a thing where, if you click a URL-link in a chat, the link comes up in a separate windows, from there you can copy it with CTRL+C.

It would be great if someone could make this =)
I have tried to find something similar but nothing was even close.

Edit: Added a bit more info.

It's my understanding that an addon cannot write directly to your clipboard.

Try this

Make a macro for the /editnote note command, bind it to a key, and away you go. Sounds like it opens an edit window with the name and realm of your target pre-populated - and instead of adding more to the note, you can copy and paste it.

No, none of them does what i want.

Armory QuickLink was close, but it requires a name in the chatwindow.

Not sure if you can ctrol the right-click menu for a until frame.

Certainly for the QuickLink one (which is AWESOME, btw) you could whisper the person, then you'd have their name to right-click on, even if they don't respond.

It's not subtle, but it would work.

I have no knowledge in making addons, i have tried looking at it, but no
From what i see, these addons mentioned above , have all the code needed, except for adding a right-click function to the battleground scoreboard.

I will try other ways to find someone to make the addon.

Thanks anyway.

Btw, the addon is suppoed to make reporting of bots in battleground much eaiser (since many use special characters) and i wouldnt want others to get flagged just cause i spell wrong hehe.
