Ask HN: In HN threads is it possible to prevent long URLs from being truncated?

Forgive me if this is very trivial as I'm not very 'web-dev-literate'...

I like to save HN comments for personal reference and usually just cherry-pick and manually highlight+copy them into my personal notes.

Comments with long URLs will end up being displayed and subsequently copied as:

http://example.com/some-very-long-url-that-ge...

Was wondering if there's a simple way (custom css/js?) to force these long URLs from not being truncated in order to make manual copying easier.

    How about right-click and choose Copy Link Address?
