macOS Select/Copy "Where From" Data From Finder's "More Info"???!!!

[Darkroom]

i have HUNDREDS of photos that have "Where From" metadata listing the URL from where the image was downloaded... i need to copy all these URLs for a paper's citations, and would rather not spend a week manually typing the address...

i just spent 2 hours looking for a way to do this... i'm totally lost... anyone have any ideas how i can simply select/copy/paste this info from Finder's More Info? it's REALLY annoying how i can see this information but have no access to it...

mdls -name kMDItemWhereFroms <filename>

From the terminal should do it. You can script this with a shell script, etc. to grab all of the URLs from a directory, etc.
