In any decent newsreader app there's no need to copy-paste the link at 
all (unless it's a long address that has been split by not being 
enclosed by <> ). Simply click or double-click on it and it will 
automatically open up the default web browser, or a new page / tab if 
reading newsgroups via a web browser, or in some cases the newsreader 
app's built-in web browser.
