How do I forward a text with a link? I'm using Motorola Moto E (first gen) running Android 5.1.

I'm fairly new to Android, I know I could forward message if I tap and press on the message for a while, wait for the dropdown menu to pop up and then tap on "Message".

The problem is, if there is a link in the message body, no matter where I tap on the message - it gets me to that website instead of showing this context menu.  

How do I forward this type of text?
Just long press on the message, its should either highlight and give you the option of forwarding or select text, then just select all and paste it on a new message body
