[Feature Request] Better link handling in comments (lemmy.sdf.org)

When someone posts a link in their comment, there are no options to copy, share, or sometimes even just view the link (I've seen this on some images that it just opens right away on a comment without even asking me, which seems a little too zealous for my taste). This is immensely useful when I don't necessarily want to open a link in the client (I.e. copy and paste to share it or maybe I want to open it in a different app). When a user long-hold presses on a link, you should get options on how to handle it. Some possible interactions are copy, share, and open in external app

Related: I would appreciate it if YouTube link handeling could be set. Now sometimes I click links that turn out to be YouTube links and open my YouTube app (and go into history).

Would be cool if there was a way to set handeling of that link type to a frontend.
