Prevent Stop Block certain HTML Tag from being Copied e.g. URL <a> tag

i want to make it so that when a user copies an image from a website and pastes this image in, say, their email client, the <a> tag URL which surrounds the image tag is not copied along with the image.

This was brought to my attention by a colleague who copied images from the website into Outlook which retained the URL somehow. As she did not want the URL to be sent to the recipient, only the image. I told her she could simply right click -> remove hyperlink but she didn't want to have to do this, And one could easily forget to.

The fix in my mind -> would be to have something in the html prevent the <a> tag from being copied when the user right clicks to copy image. Does anybody understand what I am trying to say? I can't really think of an analogy that would be relevant.

well - this is a pretty strange requirement - since you can only do something that you can control - so only on websites where you have access to the code. there is something like this:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/...Element/oncopy

and take note of something like that as well:

https://www.quirksmode.org/dom/events/cutcopypaste.html

but i suggest to not use it - it alters the normal behaviour of the browser displaying a webpage that a user might expect - so may be one of your colleages wants to copy all while another one doesnt. fiddling around with standard behaviours on a website often leads to annoyance for users. usually the receiving app has to take care of what should be pasted to it - and it does already. since the 'remove hyperlink' option already is there. just dont copy the tag and it wouldnt even be there - so whats copied is usually even pasted - thats how it should work and everyone expect that.

but if you have to for some reason - u can fiddle around with the cut/copy events in this case.

If you really want to do this, you could try removing the <a> tags around the images and use JavaScript to hook up onClick Events for the images that would do what the <a> tag would have done.

(This assumes that you own the website and can edit the HTML/JavaScript that you are talking about. This cannot be applied to websites that you do not own/control/maintain)
