I think it should be:

* Bookmark Link
* Download Target
* Copy Link to Clipboard

It covers everything that is done, all the entries are different, and it's 
fairly clear. Currently there is 'Copy Link Location', but I think that's 
not clear at all. Likewise 'Save Link As' seems unclear to me. I also do not 
like the suggestion of 'Save As' because it overlaps with that identical 
term which usually refers to saving the current location.

I'd recommend that the terms be generally change throughout the system to 
the target of a link being referred to as the 'Target' not the 'Link 
Location'. Logically, the 'Link Location'  is also where the link is 
located, as in its position on the page, and it doesn't seem clear to me 
otherwise either. The 'Target' of a link can only be where that link goes 
to.

I think the link itself should always be called the 'Link', as it is now, 
and the current location should be called the 'Current Location' or the 
'Location', as it is now.
