I don't know the terminology, though.

I keep links to many YouTube videos of music I enjoy. When I want to post them on different websites like here or FaceBook, I get the video up on my screen.

Up at the top of the page, there is a line of text (sort of) that I highlight. Just click on it. Then I right click to Copy that line of text. Then I just carry it to wherever I want to post it.

And there it is.

I hope this helps!
