Proposed functionality

When pasting an IP address copied after triple-clicking it to select it in tables (IPAM Prefixes' IP Addresses tab, Devices or VMs' Interfaces tabs, for example), it get surrounded by spaces:

Actual: " 192.0.2.1/24 "
Wished: "192.0.2.1/24"

It's caused by the HTML text being actually surrounded by blanks; for example, for IPAM, it goes like this:

<td>

  <a href="/ipam/ip-addresses/123/" id="ipaddress_123">192.0.2.1/24</a>

</td>

If it were straight inside the <td> then it would be fixed:

<td><a href="/ipam/ip-addresses/123/" id="ipaddress_123">192.0.2.1/24</a></td>

Use case

Being able to quickly triple-select values from NetBox UI and use them without surrounding spaces.
