Previously, if you used Discord in a "desktop" Web browser, you could right-click on a link in a message and one of the options in the context menu was "Copy Link". However, that option seemed to be removed at some point earlier in 2023, although it was apparently kept in the desktop application client. (This Reddit post on /r/discordapp illustrates what I'm referring to.)

Will Discord restore the "Copy Link" option in the Web browser before the end of 2024?

Notes:

  • "Before the end of 2024" means before 00:00 UTC on January 1, 2025.

  • The functionality may be removed again after being restored.

  • The option need not be titled "Copy Link" exactly, so long an option with the functionality is present in the context menu.

    • Although "Copy Text" does have effectively the same functionality when the message contains only a link, it does not when the message contains additional text, so it does not count here.

  • This is only referring to right-clicking the link in the message text. Right-clicking links in embedded content does not count.

  • Discord may alternatively remove its custom context menu entirely and revert to the browser's native context menu for links, which has a "Copy link" option in major browsers.

  • In case there are differences among browsers, the functionality described previously must work in at least one "major" browser, defined as one having its own line in StatCounter's "Desktop Browser Market Share Worldwide" chart when the functionality is present.

  • I use Discord fairly often (once a week in a browser, at the very least) so I can check for myself if this functionality exists. However, I may miss functionality that qualifies for a YES resolution, so I will accept any credible evidence from others that comes to my attention. (For example, I use Firefox, so I could miss functionality that is present only in Chrome.)

I may trade in this question as usual.

Workaround: Selecting any part of the text of the link causes Discord to revert to the browser's native context menu.

Minor clarification: I actually don't use Discord in the browser as often as I thought, so I updated the point about checking the functionality for myself.
