How do you copy Teams message without time and sender information?

I want to triple-click a message, copy it to the clipboard, then paste it in whichever application, and I don't want to see the header (time and sender information).

Yes, it is possible to carefully select parts of a message, and make sure you don't snag the beginning or end of the message so you don't "grab" the header. This is not what I'm looking for. I want a one-click-solution.

I found this post dating from 2013, about Skype/Lync. I'm looking for the same thing in Teams.

Thank you

    Worst part is, this would be stupidly simple if it's coded in c# (which it probably is)
    Just comment out the code that adds the timestamp. or just any code that changes how the clipboard interacts with teams at all.

    Who was the big brain that thought this was a feature? It is like Microsoft has no idea how their customers actually use their product. In what situation is automatically time stamping and quoting on Microsoft teams actually useful? In the rare circumstance where we actually need the time stamp and name there is always the search feature. Meanwhile I have never had a task where I actually needed, let alone wanted the quote and timestamp 'feature'.
