Directly selecting text on hyperlinks? (In Windows with Alternate+Drag cursor, no drag/drop)

In Windows, if I hold Alt and select text by clicking and dragging, it works.

In Linux, it moves the window of the browser like any other window.

Selecting a hyperlink and dragging it usually does drag the whole link for drag-and-dropping.

How can I easily select text on a hyperlink like I can in Windows?

I usually position my mouse cursor to the left or right of they hyper-link. Then Left-Click and drag the cursor over the hyper-link.

If you only want a portion in the middle of the of the hyper-link, then you must use winKey+Alt+Left-Click and drag your mouse over the portion you want.
