Is it possible to drag out a rendered link out of a Joplin note?

When I try to drag a link from a Joplin note nothing happens, I can only right click on it.

For example when you drag a link from a browser into Joplin editor it will be converted automatically as a text url. I'd like to drag a link from Joplin in the browser and open the page.

Thank you in advance!

Why not just click (Markdown editor viewer pane) or `ctrl`+click (WYSIWYG editor) on the link to open it in a browser?

Yea this is obviously a minor issue, mostly related to this older post I did, [Open links in non default browser](https://discourse.joplinapp.org/t/open-links-in-non-default-browser/14624)

Basically my main problem is that I can't set a browser different to system default to open notes for Joplin.
