Hi Daniel,
I don't think this is correct, we should always choose generic when
it's available as that is the "default" action taken by the
application. The more specialised copy, move, etc., are there for the
sending application (or user via modifiers) to force the receiving
application to do something else.
The big decision is what should Emacs do by default? My opinion is
that when receiving a URL we should insert the link as text rather
than try to open it: Emacs isn't a web browser. Perhaps that's wrong,
I'm not sure what Emacs does on other platforms.

This is untrue as the Emacs 26 behaviour was almost entirely arbitrary
and broken. What it does is fix this one particular use-case.
