Copy text w/o formatting

If you want to copy text w/o formatting, when you paste it, use Ctrl-Shift-V instead of Ctrl-V. Depending on the application, it will copy it directly w/o formatting, or give you a drop down selection to choose from.

Now I want to find a way to copy w/o formatting but keeping links. I see articles with a lot of links, and it seems likely they have some way to copy them with the text, and not have to manually add all of them one at a time.
