When you do that, though, it looks like the highlighted url is the only "actively" highlighted text. And this is how QC treats it, since if you use QC to clip highlighted, all that you get is the url.

Your suggestion to separately highlight the url may have to do, alas.
Yes, the OS supports two text selections at once, PRIMARY and SECONDARY. Quick Clip only reads the Primary selection, because what if you have a webpage selected then switch to another application and select something else then clip that selection? I could concatenate the two selections then clip them together, but I think more times than not that wouldn't be the desired effect. So as of now Quick Clip ignores Secondary.

A possibility would be to sense if both primary and secondary were selected the give a prompt: "What do you want to clip? Primary | Secondary | Both".

That's getting fancy, though!
