Mark Chambers (ID: 000000514536c238) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 06/25/2020 It works. But as another reviewer points out, being able to copy the relative URL from any link on the page by right clicking on it and choosing that option in the context menu would be the best.

Antonio Ooi (ID: 000000bf7b36216b) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 02/20/2020 What about copying the relative URL by right-clicking on the link and select 'Copy relative URL' from the Context Menu without opening the page in new tab? Possible?
