I'm not sure that I agree that we ought to make this change. I really appreciate the current, simple, "Website" link at the bottom of each description section of the details view. The main reason that I like it is that it is always in the same place and the text is common making it always easy to notice, whereas a URL tends to be a somewhat random-looking collection of characters, different for each package and therefore would be much more of a "visual noise" item on the page I think.

Further, I'm not sure I see the real usefulness for selecting and copying a URL beyond pasting into a browser to get to a web page. If a person really wants to select the URL, they could (as you describe) just open the web page and copy/paste it from there.

Of course, a11y issues are always a priority to fix. Could you describe what exactly the problem is for a11y with the current implementation?

Many thanks!
