Currently, one or more entries can be exported to the clipboard by right-clicking on them, selecting Copy…, Export to Clipboard, and choosing the export format. However, there is no “plain text” export format that is just an/a human-readable ASCII (un)numbered list of references. This would look like a bibliography generated from the selected entries.

Can such a plain-text export format be incorporated?
