Being unable to select text out of a link is absolutely infuriating when you want to just copy a piece of it, either because it's a reference number or something, or you want to translate it. Mobile is nearly impossible, and desktop is also fiddly in many cases.
Often when translating it's easier to just OCR the area with the dictionary app, which is madness when it started as text.
