Is there a plugin that allows the one of the sidebar tabs to support copying

No.  Its called the file manager, and comes with your operating system.

[Disclaimer: its one of my pet peeves that people expect us to waste
time duplicating system functions, others disagree, YMMV]

I disagree. All current OSes, including most popular Linux distros, have horrible file managers (ie. no explorer tree, annoying UIs, crippled features, etc).

Also it's incredibly handy to have file management right at your fingertips without having to context switch into the OS and fumble with whatever that platform tries to pass off as a file manager. Managing files is a huge part of working with a source base, and IMO is completely appropriate to have available in an IDE (presumably why all IDEs have some form of file management).
