The current selection mechanism (which displays a blue rectangle with 4 handles and a "copy" action") is hooked up to the contextmenu DOM event. That’s a hack, and is soon going to disappear (and will be replaced by a proper text selection mechanism). When that happens, this will leave room for long-press event handling, although I’m not sure whether this will work out-of-the-box or will require more plumbing in oxide. One thing you could try is to convert your trello app to a QML app that simply instantiates a WebView (from Ubuntu.Web 0.2). This will by default disable the selection mechanism.
