If you right-click on a link in most browsers, you should get a
"download" option in the context menu. That's handled by the browser,
not mupdf. Now for a couple of mupdf "secrets"...
1) mupdf does download the file from the web to /tmp. You can find it
there with any "file explorer" app, and copy to where you want it.
2) to select+copy an area of text, hold down the right mouse button
whilst dragging the mouse pointer. The selected area is automatically
copied to your clipboard.
