Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When we want to find the IP address of one particular peer we have to open the dashboard and login in the browser -and open the browser if it isn't- and then lookup for the user's IP.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be faster if we could get a new entry when we right click the tray icon to list the currently online peers so we can click on one of them and automatically store their IP address on the clipboard.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Hello @parasiteoflife, thanks for the feature request. We will plan this support for the coming quarters.

Regarding finding the address for a peer, you can also use the netbird CLI with the following commands:

# get all connectable peers
netbird status --detail

# filter by name
netbird status --detail --filter-by-names peer-a,peer-b

# filter by status
netbird status --detail --filter-by-status connected

All three commands will output a list of peers according to the filters. This information contains the peer name, IP, and connection type.

I'll close this as duplicate of https://github.com/netbirdio/netbird/issues/3634 as it has more discussion in it and the "status window" idea seems to cover the use case
