Are you looking for a way to create a Media Library URL column? This snippet will create a new column in the Media Library with the file URL that will allow you to easily copy and paste the URL.
Instructions:
All you have to do is add this code to your theme’s functions.php file or in a site-specific plugin:
function muc_column( $cols ) {
$cols["media_url"] = "URL";
return $cols;
}
function muc_value( $column_name, $id ) {
if ( $column_name == "media_url" ) echo '<input type="text" width="100%" onclick="jQuery(this).select();" value="'. wp_get_attachment_url( $id ). '" />';
}
add_filter( 'manage_media_columns', 'muc_column' );
add_action( 'manage_media_custom_column', 'muc_value', 10, 2 );
Thanks to Steve Taylor for the original snippet. Thanks to Jurko Chervony for suggested tweaks.

I copied and pasted it at the very bottom of the ‘functions.php’ file, and when I tried to open the website again, it gave me a fatal error. Any ideas why? I’m using wordpress 3.8.
Without taking a look at your functions.php I would not be sure what the issue was. You could put it on pastebin.com and use the contact form to send me the link so i can take a look at it.
