Hi Luca,

If all you want to do is to copy the (visible) URI without its surrounding brackets, then maybe you can take a look at how C-c C-l is implemented regarding how it gets the URI, and from there figure out how you can put the URI into the kill ring. 

Otherwise if you want to copy portions of the URI without also copying the opening brackets, then I suppose there might have to be specialized commands for C-w and friends that handles opening brackets? 

Best,


RY
