Feature request: Long click & hold on Links to copy URL to clipboard

Reported by sapkotab...@gmail.com, Jun 3 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.102 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
It would be great to have the URL copying experience on desktop browser 
optimized. Simple long click and hold behavior to copy the URL to clipboard would save a lot of time and improve browsing user experience.  

What is the expected behavior?
Copying the link address is expected user interaction. Right clicking on any links launches right menu with an option to "Copy The Link Address" but this can be improved.

What went wrong?
As of now, when we need to copy a URL, we need to right click on a link and "Copy the link address". It gets annoying if you would want to do it couple of times. 

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 50.0.2661.102  Channel: n/a
OS Version: OS X 10.10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

Hi rpop@, do you (or someone you know) want to make an executive decision on this feature request? :)

Hmm, unless long click to bring up context menu is a behavior we want to introduce across the board, I don't think we should add this behavior. If a user wants to accelerate copying links to clipboard, that's a good use case for an extension.
