Enhancement: Double click console output to select

I would like to double click the console output and have it select the word. Currently I can only click and drag to select. Tripple click works when selecting the whole line.

I believe this is how RStudio Server works. I will loop in someone from the IDE team to confirm.

There is actually an option for this to turn it on. Tools -> Global Options -> General -> Advanced -> Double-click to select words in Console pane

There is some history why this ended up being an option instead of being on by default if you are curious. https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/pull/4293
