Per alphapapa's suggestion to bring this up to this list, it seems that everyone (doom, spacemacs, and individuals) are rolling their own of a functionality that should be included in core: the ability to de-linkify text at point, leaving just the text without orgmode surroundings. One person claims it's already in there, but I don't see anything like =clip-link= in the actual code from https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/src/master/lisp.
