There is already a "copy link" entry in the contextual menu (long-press
on a hyperlink, then tap "Copy Link"). The link is in the clipboard, and
you can paste it in other applications’ text fields (just tested that it
works with the messaging app).

Note that the functionality itself was broken until recently (see bug
#1463435), it is now fixed in the development version and the fix will
be part of the next OTA update (next week if everything goes well).

Title:
  [browser] add support to copy page link to clipboard

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello,
  I am constantly missing url to clipboard feature in webbrowser. It is nice you can finally share the browsed page but an ability co have a link in clipboard so you can write an email with it or post it on social networks is missing.

  I am not completely sure how to approach this but same problem may
  apply to other applications as well. It would be awesome if maybe
  content hub was able to detect if it manages a link (string) and then
  allow user just to have it in a clipboard. But I am not sure it that
  is the best approach. Maybe it would be best to have it in the app,
  allow developers to make a sharing button with content hub / clipboard
  choice as it is on Android (I suppose).

  What do you think?

  Thank you very much.
