Why can't the Chrome browser copy links when I right click on a sentence containing them?

[bonny doon]

If you have Chrome, would you kindly try this cut-and-paste test
(which is making Chrome essentially useless for my purposes)?

1. Go to any web page containing links embedded within a sentence.
Example:
http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2011/02/7-chrome-annoyances-and-how-to-fix-them.html

2. Sweep out the sentence with your left mouse button, taking care that
the first character swept is NOT a link (the link should be embedded within
the sentence).
Example in that web page:
"you can install Chrome Toolbox. The"
Where the link is "Chrome Toolbox" (but you selected from the word "you").

3. Right click.
Notice, in Chrome, if the first character isn't the link itself, then
you have no option to select the link when you right click on the selection.
Therefore link is wholly lost in your subsequent paste.

Here is a picture showing that you can't cut and paste the link:

4. The resulting paste will NOT contain the desired link! :(
Q: How do we cut and paste in Chrome and keep the embedded links?

Note: If you only select the link, then Chrome 'can' cut and paste properly!
This works fine if there is only one link; but it's useless for multiple links.

This bug makes the Chrome browser, essentially, useless.
Unless we can find a workaround.

Right clicking directly on the link gives you "Copy Link Address".

The question is HOW do you get Chrome to "Copy Link Address" for the
sentence, when multiple links are embedded within the sentence?
(Note: Firefox has absolutely no problem with this simple operation.)

PS: Is there a Chrome nntp newsgroup?
