Copy and Paste Custom Properties

I propose a way to copy a custom property with all its settings (Type, Name, Default, min/max... all that) and paste it somewhere else. So to another Node or Object or where ever you can attach custom properties.

For clarification: I don't mean the values of the properties but the property definitions themselves. copy_paste.jpg

And support for holding down ⎇ Alt when pasting, to paste it on a selection and not just the active selection.

and with support with ALT+ENTER, for those who are using Emulate 3 button mouse.

I think this could be handled later once we land projects.blender.org/blender/blender/pulls/151714

The "Copy Attributes Menu" add-on can help you copy custom properties to other objects. But I agree: custom properties are a pain to edit manually...

Custom Properties need an urgent enhancement imo, taking away those uggly properties that come from add-ons that polute the properties list and a nicer area to be placed that not hidden somewhere inside some panel.

Actually the whole property system needs an update.
