In Edit mode, you can right click on the URL portion between ()s and choose Copy url:
In Preview mode, right clicking on that link only gives a single option: Copy…
…Which just places the text “google” on the clipboard:
So the feature request is for the Copy URL function to appear on the right-click menu for links in Preview mode as well.
I made a plugin for this, now up on community plugins.
The devs also said this is a functionality they’ll add into the app eventually.
If anyone dares, I forked @NomarCub’s great plugin and added a Copy image to clipboard function to it. It’s a hack for sure, but a convenient one. Very much open to someone telling me the correct way to implement this (since surely this ain’t it!)
