Is there any simple way to get links in html document simply to display so I can cut and paste them into a browser?

The best I can do is to define a fake URL viewer so that it asks "View selected URL "...

Ideally it wouldn't waste screen width with "View selected URL "... and it would use the full width of the screen so I can grab those insanely long links that seem to be the bane of my email.

In a perfect world it would also automatically offer a shortened version to aid copy-paste.

I absolutely do not want to run a browser from alpine (which is running on a remote text terminal only server).
