Concatenate all selected values in select_similar

theoryshaw · theoryshaw · commit 88daa8321705 · 2026-04-15T21:01:49.000-05:00
When multiple objects are selected, _generate_clipboard_query
previously only used the first reference value. Now all values
are joined with " + " so the clipboard query reflects every
selected object (e.g. GlobalId = "A" + GlobalId = "B").
