The new button for copying the URL to the clipboard introduced with pull request (PR) #389 might be misleading.

To me the icon and the link text look as if that button would copy the content of the page and not the link.

I suggest to change the icon to a link icon and make the title more clear:

shariff-clipboard-button-proposed

I can make a PR for that, but before I would like to get more opinions.

If I'm the only one who sees an issue here and others say it's fine as it is, a PR would not make sense.

Or maybe my suggestion can be improved?

Maybe the title should use the word "link" instead of "URL" because today's users won't know what a URL is?

And maybe the button text should not be just "copy" ("kopieren") but "copy link" ("Link kopieren"), if that is not too long?

And maybe the link icon might also be misleading as it's used on many websites for external links?
