Improve the copy link ui/ux

cryogen

If you right click on a message that contains a web link, you get two options. One is "copy message link" which gets you a link to the actual message in discord. The other is "copy link" which copies the link itself. These two options are right next to each other and users often confuse them. When people are trying to, for example, share images on social media they do "copy message link" which gets a discord link that people who aren't on that discord can't see.

It should somehow be more clear what these options do.

Perhaps by adding a dedicated "share" option then the user can more finely control how and where their content is shared?

    Hey, I was looking for suggestions that would ask discord to allow copying the link from the right click menu, and I found yours where you say that feature already existed - four years ago!  But when I right-click on a link in a discord message, there is no “copy link” option at all.  There is “copy message link”, but you say you have both.  Does that still work for you?  Are you using discord on the web, or the discord app, and on which OS?
