When I'm viewing a web page in Safari, I can drag the icon for that page
from where it appears in the Toolbar to the desktop and create a .webloc
icon (and, presumably, a type .webloc file).
This file presumably contains the URL for the web page, since clicking
this icon later on re-opens the web page.
But, is there any other way to get the URL for that page -- as a text
string -- out of that webloc file later on, other than re-opening the
page and copying the URL from the Toolbar?
If I drag the webloc icon into a TextEdit document, it inserts the name
of the webloc file -- not the URL.
If I drag it into the message body of a Eudora message (wanting to send
the URL to someone else), the webloc file pops up into the Attachments:
field, and nothing appears in the message body.
Right-clicking on the webloc icon doesn't seem to show anything useful
And, good old Finder Help (a) produces no hits on a search for "webloc",
and (b) has no entries for webloc or web location in the "W" section of
its Index.
