New description:

 The web browser currently doesn't allow for the "alternate" interaction
 types for links, seen typically as a right-click to bring up a set of
 choices such as "download", "copy url", "open in new tab" and the like.

 There are lots of other cases where you want to be able to copy a link
 instead of following it, or you want to open a new window (or better yet,
 tab) with the new document.
