Sorry for late answer...

Download Panel Tweaker is primarily designed to modify appearance of download panel. And in this case may be used only some extended tooltips.
Also I prefer to use external download manager for big files, so I very rarely want to see some additional information about downloads.
So may be later, but this request will have a low priority, sorry.

Referrer is a very useful info, and using an external manager can be exactly the issue here. For example I'm trying to download something big in the browser from some account where I log in first. It can break. So I copy the URL and referrer and try to download the same thing in the external downloader (wget or whatever). However referrer is needed. It shouldn't be a tooltip I think - it should be something that can be copied to a clipboard.

Added Copy Download Page Link context menu item.
Test version: download_panel_tweaker-0.2.1pre4-fx.xpi (source).

Thanks. Just installed it. It's greyed out for me (but the menu is there at least). I think it's better to call it by its name - the referrer. That's how it's known. I first couldn't figure out what the "download page link" is. It's not even a link, it's an address (referrer URI in this case). Calling the menu item "Copy referrer" would be perfect. If anyone doesn't know what referrer is, they probably don't even need it. Also, using the right term will teach people what that is. That's way better - to help people know, rather than keep them ignorant.

This is like built-in

<menuitem
    label="Go To Download Page"
    accesskey="G"
    command="downloadsCmd_openReferrer" />

And yes, referrer isn't available for some downloads.
