Well, it is true that I never need *part* of a link. The usual
interfaces (eg. web browsers) make it tricky to *select* a link,
however. This is why most of them added a context menu item saying
"copy link location" or "copy email address". Maybe we should start
considering what kind of things we would want to add to a context
menu.
