Disabling links in responses

Hey @gilian :wave:

Welcome to the Postman Community! :postman:

There isn’t a setting in the app to make those not clickable - In terms of adding that functionality, you can raise a new Feature Request over on our Github Issue Tracker.

If you want a method of copying a link from a response, have you tried logging that out to the Postman Console? Or use Postbot to create a visualizer script to help copy a link/url from the response to the clipboard?

I was just messing about with an basic example and Postbot created this (not so pretty) button which copies the url from the response.

var template = `
<style type="text/css">
    .btn {
        background-color: #4CAF50;
        border: none;
        color: white;
        padding: 10px 20px;
        text-align: center;
        text-decoration: none;
        display: inline-block;
        font-size: 16px;
        margin: 4px 2px;
        cursor: pointer;
    }
</style>

<button class="btn" onclick="copyToClipboard()">Copy URL to Clipboard</button>

<script>
    function copyToClipboard() {
        var textField = document.createElement('textarea');
        textField.innerText = "{{response.url}}";
        document.body.appendChild(textField);
        textField.select();
        document.execCommand('copy');
        textField.remove();
    }
</script>
`;

function constructVisualizerPayload() {
    var res = pm.response.json();
    return {response: res};
}

pm.visualizer.set(template, constructVisualizerPayload());

That is something similar to what I did a while ago with the visualiser.
