HI MatthewCarse,

 

I think power bi may remove this feature so you need to manually copy file address.

Thank you for your response Anonymous.

 

The issue here is that the link text cannot be selected and copied either.

When viewing the report in any browser, no text (link or otherwise) can be copied, and as the link can no longer be right-clicked to Copy Link Address, it's lacking this essential functionality. 

The link can be dragged to notepad++ or the data exported to excel, but to have to do either of these things instead of being able to select the text is a pain.

 

I see there are many other threads requesting the ability to copy and paste e.g. 1, 2, but it doesn't seem like there have been any adequate responses.
