When I have "Set Copy Citations to Yes", copy a section of text from an Encyclopedia long enough to qualify, then paste it to a note or Word document, it does not include the hyperlink in the citation.

Examples:

• Lexham Bible Dictionary
• The International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Revised
• Dictionary of the Bible
