How to paste URL link of a copied hyperlink (NOT the text) in word 2010?

I want to copy the underlying URL of a hyperlink not the display text of that link in Microsoft Word 2010.

Currently I can only have the option to paste text only - need a way to paste link only

How can I do that?

ps.

I need to copy multiple hyperlinks text (e.g. copied from the internet and paste into Word, then I need to extrack the link only). Currently when using the Copy Link Address option when copy, it works only for one link.

Just right-click the hyperlink and choose "Copy Link Address", "Copy Link Location" or similar option (depending on browser), and then you shouldn't need to choose any paste options at all.

It's likely not the straight-forward answer you're hoping for, but it'd still be faster than manually copy-pasting one-by-one: go to view the page source and copy the block containing all the URL sources. After pasting, you can use find & replace to quickly filter out what isn't needed, then manually clean the rest.
