A double tap and hold works for me in the Mail app to bring up a menu including copy. I just did this and here are the options I get:
Open Add to reading list Copy Share Cancel At the very top before open the actual URL is read out, the link on which I did the double tap and hold was actually the name of a product with the actual link hidden. When I found the link by touch, i.e. dragging my finger around the screen instead of swiping, and then did a force touch I got “Preview” and that has rotor options, a swipe down gave me “Preview Actios” and double tapping on that gives me also the same options above which I got with a double tap and hold. If you press to hard, however, the link just opens in Safari.

Hi List, I'm working with a list of URL podcast feed links in an email for which I'm seeking the fastest way to copy a specific link in order to paste it to the native Podcasts app in order to manually subscribe to the feed. I'm running iOS 12.2 on an iPhone 8 and am using the standard Mail app. I know the links in the source email are complete and unbroken but I'm unaware of a gesture to make it easy to copy a URL link. I would have thought by this point that one could give a link focus and do a gesture such as a double tap and hold or a single finger swipe that would present a menu allowing you to copy it. I have been unsuccessful when attempting this and also when trying to share one of these podcast links. Be aware that these are nonstandard podcast feeds which aren't available when searching in the usual manner in a podcast app or when browsing podcasts that have gone through the Apple podcast registration process. Any help directing me on the easiest way to copy a URL for pasting would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
