the link only becomes clickable if you hold down a modifier key.

Fun trick not a lot of people know -

In a web browser, links which are normally clickable become UN-clickable if you hold a modifier. On a mac, it's (option). It's helpful if you want to select text inside a large link (or in a button) so you can copy it.

This might be operating system/browser-specific. On Windows Chrome, shift-click opens in new window, ctrl in new tab, and alt downloads the link.

Thanks, I did not know! On Firefox/Linux, it's Alt and dragging the mouse through the part of the text you want.
