First, highlight the link text that you want to copy.  Press the "home" 
or "end" key to position the cursor at the beginning or end of the link 
if neither end is visible.  (assuming Windows) Position the mouse 
pointer at the cursor position, press the left mouse button down and 
hold it down while you slide the mouse across the link text until you 
get to the opposite end.  Then release the mouse button.  The full link 
text should be highlighted.

Then either
1) Press "CTRL-Insert" or
2) Click the browser's Edit menu and select "Copy"
Either action will copy the text onto the clipboard storage area

Next move the mouse pointer to where you want to copy the text and
1) Press "CTRL-Insert" or
2) Click the browser's Edit menu and select "Paste"

I generally use the browser's edit menu options for copy and paste but 
the keyboard shortcuts are good to know.  Sometimes an application may 
not provide edit menu options for copy and insert but the keyboard 
shortcuts generally work in any situation.

As I was typing this (in pieces) I accidentally inserted the paragraph 
above between the copy and paste instructions above it.  That's where 
the "Cut" option comes in.  I highlighted the entire paragraph and then 
used "Cut" instead of "Copy".  That copies the text onto the clipboard 
but also deletes it from where it was.  Then you can paste it back into 
the document where it belongs.

Practice these instructions a few times and your "muscle memory" will 
take over in the future.
