  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.
