How do you click text that's inside a hyperlink so you can drag and highlight it?
<p>If you have a paragraph of normal text, you can click anywhere inside the text and drag your mouse to highlight it. However, if the text is inside an anchor/link tag, it won't allow you to click and drag -- the link catches the mouse and prevents it from happening. </p>

<p>To see what I mean, find a text link on this page and try to click inside it and drag to select it. It won't let you -- you'll have to click outside the link and drag around it.</p>

<p>What do you need to do in JavaScript/JQuery to temporarily disable the link long enough for you to drag and highlight it? </p>

<p>The reason I can't just start outside the link is because every word in the paragraph is within a hyperlink -- it's a video transcript and each link is synced to a segment in the video.</p>
