Is this a Safari thing? I can no longer attach a hyperlink.

Not running Firefox anymore. The question is about Safari.

Safari is problematic, especially on the iPad I use when out of town. It does not have the “Copy Link As” option for photos.
I have also found that URL results in a link that doesn’t work.
However, after closely looking at the links, (using the EDIT function), I have found a work around for URL
It seems when you embed the link between the brackets, Safari adds a space, usually after the 1st bracket, right before HTTPS. After you post, go to EDIT, you can then delete the added space, & it works...usually. Like so...
