That's  not  entirely  true,  it's just  difficult.  Especially  if  the
surrounding CSS doesn't give any wiggle room to place the mouse above or
below the area  desired to be selected. But where  there is ample space,
selecting a region in the middle of a link isn't impossible and if there
is enough space in the surrounding elements it is quite easy.

See the  attached image where  I easily managed to  highlight 4742716fc1
(which I copied/pasted into this email) in the hypertext link.

So really,  just more  space is needed  in the timeline  CSS to  make it
easier  to  highlight. I  was  using  the  Blitz  skin for  purposes  of
demonstration. The  Enhanced Original  (my typical  skin) makes  it much
more difficult to do so.
