Why? I mean, why either/or? What is the logic behind that?

why EITHER put it somewhere else in the menu (unless someone makes a comment
stating it's not necessary in his opinion :) )
    OR put it in the context menu?

It is widely agreed, I suppose, that context menu is NOT for "promoting"
functions...
BUT then, what is it for?
I would say -- and I firmly believe that it makes sense -- that the context
menu is to make SUCH functionalities available "at hand" .. which belong to the
"context"... what the user is working on/with whatever...

so, in our case, you are using the NAVIGATOR pane...
you are viewing the OUTLINE of a document...
in this "context" the following functions are listed: 

OUTLINE LEVEL
DRAG MODE
DISPLAY

now, is it really a far off concept to put "COPY OUTLINE" in this list?
Isn't it likely that someone wants to copy it?

since the birth of text editors and PCs in general, people have been accustomed
to the practice that whatever is before them, text or image, they can COPY
it...

SO, as a matter of fact, this might be made possible even directly...
(which, for sure would be way bigger work to do, and would affect lots of other
things)

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 
PS:
I repeat.. it works for me...

I can handle such super-minor hardship so easily that I don't even recognize
it... I will find "copy outline" even if it is hidden in EDIT / Object,
seriously... 
all I need to do is make one FLAG in my mind, so as to remember how to approach
this situation, and this FLAG will be "not logical".. and from then on it will
work... I'll find it...

the question that "remains" is only how many of 1 000 000 LOW users will
actually use this functionality... and how many of us would, were they given an
easy access to this functionality (which already exist!!)

thank you for developing LO-W !!
