--- Comment #5 from Maurizio Paolini <paolini@dmf.unicatt.it> ---
After a brief look at the sources, it seems that this behaviour is entirely
under
QT responsibility:
in konqueror-17.04.1/webenginepart/src/webenginepart_ext.cpp I find:

[...]
        view()->triggerPageAction(QWebEnginePage::CopyLinkToClipboard);
[...]

where QWebEnginePage::CopyLinkToClipboard is an "action" that is executed in 
qtwebengine-opensource-src-5.9.1/src/webengine/api/qquickwebengineview.cpp,
with a call to QClipboard::setMimeData:

[...]
            qApp->clipboard()->setMimeData(data);
[...]

Here there is a second (optional) argument of the following type:
enum    Mode { Clipboard, Selection, FindBuffer }
the default being "Clipboard".
Now, I think that most existing applications that copy in Clipboard, also
pragmatically copy the same content in "Selection", for the benefit of "old"
X11 users...
