To copy an internet link, you must first highlight it. To highlight it, simply left-click with your mouse and hold down while you select all the text you wish to keep.
Once the entire link (or text) is highlighted, right-click with the mouse and a menu will appear.

This way the highlighted content is saved in the clipboard. Therefore, we can paste this text wherever we want.
