Note: Contrary to what you might think after reading this tip, I’m not an idiot. I might be blind. Okay, after Dave’s comment, I now realize that I’m an idiot and blind, too. My original post follows, but I’ve discovered that this nifty menu item is provided by SafariStand, a free Safari plugin I’d installed and forgotten about. I’ll post more info about SafariStand soon, but click here to check it out and add the Copy Link HTML Tag option to your contextual menu.
I don’t know why I never noticed this before (is it new in Safari 2.0?), but here’s a little timesaving tip, just in case you’ve overlooked it, too. This Safari tip can save you some work when you want to copy a link from a Web page into your code.
Control-click on a link in Safari and select Copy Link HTML Tag from the contextual menu. I’ve always selected Copy Link and pasted it into a tag, but Copy Link HTML Tag copies the link and the tag.

Okay, if you’re blind, then I’m blind too… I’m using Safari 2.0, and I’ve control-clicked on many of the text links on this page, and have not found the “Copy Link HTML Tag” option. Very strange.
