There are no default features available in any browser to Copy Text as HTML Link From a Web Page.But if you are a blogger or webmaster you certainly need to copy and paste links and texts from around the web to include in your post or page. If you are doing it manually, you know how tiring it is. You need to copy the text first and then add the web page link manually using anchor (<A> </A>) Tag.

But there are some helps available in the form of browser add-ons if you use browsers like Mozilla Firefox.
