Comment (by huyvq):

 > I think the simplest solution is to make these elements unselectable.

 It's not. The simplest solution is to change some default message template
 prefs provided by IB:

 `messenger.conversations.selections.actionMessagesTemplate`
 `messenger.conversations.selections.contentMessagesTemplate`
 `messenger.conversations.selections.systemMessagesTemplate`.

 Given that we can change these templates to make timestamp unable to be
 copied/pasted, should we change `"privacy.use_utc_timezone"` to `false`
 for better UX?
 Relate to #17619
