From github: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/1589.

Why/User Benefit/User Problem

Currently it's very difficult to select phrases and words that are links. Being able to select this texts is helpful, because having the context menu open with the text selected, allows the user to search the term in the search engine, translate it, save it, etc. Also, no browser besides Samsung Internet allows text selection from links (that I know of), so, adding this feature to Fenix may give it some leverage over it's competitors.

What / Requirements

When long pressing a link, the context menu shows an option to select text, among the options that are already available.

Acceptance Criteria (how do I know when I’m done?)

It's possible to select text from links.
