Description
Copying URL exists. But not link text. Sometimes need to copy the actual text of the link that the url holds.
There's no workaround for this. Holding the link obviously opens link menu.
There's one very tricky workaround exists, where if there is some non link text around the link's surroundings, holding that brings text selection, then dragging the two ends towards the link text & then copying. This is very absurd workaround, that only works if there's text around the link. But not all links have free text lying around.
That is a good idea. I am not sure if WebView currently exposes the link text as an option, but I will take a look.
It turns out that WebView doesn't easily expose the link text when creating the context menu. There might be some way to manually extract the information or it might have to wait until Privacy WebView in the 4.x series.
I am not aware of a WebView based browser that can do this. Can you provide a screenshot?
Fulguris did it btw

I will take a look and see if I can implement something similar.
