Add a "copy link text" option to desktop

Brave Feature Requests

Currently it’s very hard to copy the link text from desktop - while on regular text I can just double-click and drag, on a link this would follow the link. So I have to find a place near the link and drag from it, and many times trim the whitespaces resulting from this. An option in the right-click menu to copy the link text would be very useful. Edge has such a “copy link name” option.

See this topic, which also mentions that in mobile there’s already such an option when long-pressing a link.

Thank you for bringing that up in the form of a feature request!
I was not aware that such a request could be placed when I was writing the post that you refer to.

Without doubt, this functionality would be really useful to have in the desktop version.

As I understand, this would be similar to how links can currently be copied in MS Edge and will include the name of the website as the link label when pasted.
