[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Dear emacs maintainers, the documentation of eww does not
tell how to access a links URL in eww.  This patch addresses
this.  I'm not a native speaker of English, so please tell
me if there are errors (English or otherwise.

Ciao; Gregor

changes, and will be backporting it to Emacs 27.
