Comment (by McGuive7):

 As an addendum to this ticket, I would love to be able to view/copy the
 URL of a newly uploaded media item once the upload is complete. It's not
 important to me that I be able to get the URL ''while'' the media is
 uploading.

 There are two main reasons:
 1. Time - right now users have to click the "edit" link to find the URL on
 the media edit page. This is one extra click for a task that I have to do
 very frequently (e.g. when uploading a bunch of images for which I'll need
 to past the URL in CSS for background images).
 2. The "edit" link does not intuitively suggest that the page it leads to
 will contain a URL for the uploaded media. Many users may know this by
 now, but for the sake of making WP as intuitive as possible, it seems like
 this text should either change to be more instructive ( e.g.
 "Edit/Details"), or we should add more info/link to the uploaded media
 <li>.

 I'm in favor of this second option (adding more info), and can see it
 looking one of two ways (or more):

 1. Add a link to immediately copy the URL of the uploaded media file:

 2. Add a copyable input/text display of the URL:
