Selecting link to copy it to an external application or even to a
non-org buffer has another problem. Some links may contain square
brackets. Org needs to escape them (and backslash character as well). To
reliably copy a link, it is necessary to define a dedicated command what
unescapes URL. Alternatively you may copy URL using C-c C-l
(`org-insert-link') and abort the command after that.
Besides copy, another action is open URL (C-c C-o) and it should handle
unescaping properly. Depending on your environment, you may need to
configure the browse-url package to use the preferred browser.
