How to copy links in Lotus Notes email

This question was asked a long time ago, but since there are no answers and this is a very annoying problem, here's a (frustratingly over-complicated) way to do this in Lotus Notes.

  1. Right click on the email and select "Edit"
  2. Right click on the link in question and select "HotSpot Properties"
  3. A new box will pop up that has details about the link, you can now select the text in the "Value" field and Ctrl-C to copy the link address.

Hope this helps somebody down the road looking for an answer!
