Comment (by dcf):
I would guess that this is partially a Trac issue. It's what arma said in
comment:12. Trac puts a little icon in front of external links, and the
icon is actually a `span` element that contains a zero-width space
([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_space U+200B]). It's the
presence of this invisible character that makes the browser go to a search
engine.
If you copy the link and are very careful not to include the icon when you
highlight, then it will work and not go to a search engine. Also if you
right-click and Copy Link Location.
Try copying a link and pasting it into a Vim buffer. Vim will make the
zero-width space visible and color it blue:
{{{#!html
<code><span style="color:
blue;"><200b></span>http://ozmh2zkwx5cjuzopui64csb5ertcooi5vya6c2gm4e3vcvf2c2qvjiyd.onion</code>
}}}
The same thing happens with non-onion links, like the one Dbryrtfbcbhgf
posted in comment:13.
