How to make file information (from the "details" section) copyable?

When checking the "General" tab of the properties of a file, one can select and copy the corresponding information, as you can see in this example:

After pressing CtrlC, opening Notepad and pressing CtrlV, this is what I see in notepad:

In other words, the information in the "general" tab of the file properties is copyable.

This seems not to be true for the "Details" tab, as you can see:

Pressing CtrlC, re-opening Notepad and pressing CtrlV, gives the following result:

=> indeed, nothing has changed, and having a look at the clipboard viewer (WinV) confirmed my suspicion that the latter information from the "Details" tab has indeed not been copied into the clipboard.

I have seen with another employer how information can be added to the properties of a file, and I remember having copied that information to the clipboard.

Until now, I have only been able to add information to the properties of a compiled file in the "Details" tab, which makes that information "uncopyable".

As far as I can judge, it's impossible to add information to the "General" tab of the properties of a compiled file, so I wonder:

How can I make entries in the "Details" tab copyable?

Thanks in advance

Oh, by the way: I'm working with Windows-10. I might have seen the mentioned behaviour at a Windows-Server platform but I'm not sure about that anymore.
