Not what I want.
Suppose "Copy Link Location" was a link that pointed to
http://www.foo.com/copylink.htm. I want to cut-n-paste the
words "Link Location". What you suggest puts the
"http://www.foo.com/copylink.htm"; in the buffer.

That works but is a cludgy work-around that requires additional editing
thus nullifying the benefits of cut-n-paste.
