Comment (by markdubois):

 I confirm this is a problem for me as well. I have sites with many images.
 In the past (several versions ago), one could copy the link to the
 specific image. Now, when one cursors over the words (Copy Link), the
 cursor changes and you "think" you can click and copy the link. However,
 when you do so, nothing happens (no information is actually copied to the
 clipboard). My solution is to click into the actual URL, then use CMD+a
 (Ctrl+a on Windows) to select the entire URL and CMD+c (Ctrl+c on Windows)
 to copy the URL to the clipboard. On sites with many images, this adds
 time to my workflow (which could easily be resolved by making this a
 button). For example, the text could indicate the field is a link and
 there could be a button on the right of the link which would allow one to
 copy the content/ URL.

 I have just confirmed this on a MacBook AIR running MacOC 10.15, Brave
 browser Version 0.69.132 Chromium: 77.0.3865.90 (Official Build) (64-bit).
