Maybe you could put an icon next to the word that copies it to the clipboard when clicked. Some websites use an image of a piece of paper with a top corner folded over to indicate this is the copy button.



May I suggest the inverse - an icon with a link? That way the original "double-click and copy word" use case gets preserved


I like this. That would let you copy/paste more intuitively.


Why not keep both (copy, link) on a hover so that:

- it is easy to copy

- and navigate to that word's page

- and at the same time it will preserve the ability to click to select, too.
