Similar. Or offer both.

Incidentally, I've found that some programs which break long urls will
"preserve" them (in the sence that they're still broken over multiple
lines, but the entire thing is clickable rather than only the first
line) if the URL is embedded in angle brackets thus:
<http://www.example.com/> or
<http://www.example.net/test/ofa/a/very-long-url?that=has&various=parameter&to=test&what=happens&to=such&a=URL>
