Currently still in Nightly and only on 'Copy Link'. Still nice progress though.

most of the time sharing utm links isn't helpful to the origin as if you copy a link from your email it'll have medium=email, but actually should now be medium=direct

Anything is better than nothing. Besides, it's still useful because you can see where the original link was copied from, and you still have the referrer header
