* Fix links not being selectable for copying.

Allow selection of all or part of a link for copying & pasting.

The current default behavior will instantly open the link, not allowing a link/url to be selected for copying (as noted in bug 1169255). My proposed solution opens the link on the mouse release event only if a selection was not made.

[Adam Bieńkowski (donadigo)]

It looks good. Thanks for your contribution!
