selecting text that is a link

[generic.imitation]

well here's the skinny. i sent myself an email from the work pc so i can recieve it in opera without having to type it in. so it was the link, but google made the link different when clicked and it was showing a mobile version of the website thru google. i was still on google, but it was showing me portions of the site... kind of annoying unless you need it like that, which i don't. so i tried selecting the link text which i just copied from the browser window on the work pc and emailed myself, but when i held the stylus down it didn't give the option to copy, just open in new tab even though i had the link text highlighted. I hope you can follow

I just wonder if there is a keyboard shortcut on my touch pro or in windows mobile that allows copying text whenever you have it highlighted.
