Feature request - the ability to copy the link of a tab from the contextual menu.

[Scott Maier]

That's a good suggestion, thanks!

Currently, you can switch to the tab momentarily, click on it again  
after you switch to it (to bring focus to the drawer) and then hit  
command-c to copy the tab to the clipboard.  When you paste into a  
text context, you get the URL.  (Pasting in to the OmniWeb drawer  
would get you a copy of the tab complete with history.)

You do have to be careful however to not double-click the tab you are  
switching to since that action opens the tab in a new window.   
Click.  Wait.  Click.  Copy.

The AppleScript that Christopher referred to probably fits your need  
better, but I thought I would throw this out there as an alternative  
to copying the URL of a tab without having to go through the extra  
steps of copying from the location bar.
