I have a Pages document where I have added a link to the displayed text. When I copy the content of the document and paste into any other designation, the link is not included. Is this expected behavior? For example, if I have a Pages doc with a link, copy and paste that into an Apple Mail message, the text is copied, but no link. The pasted text is styled as if it were a link (blue color, underlined), but it's not clickable.

Mail and Pages were written by entirely different development teams, and you know what that means… 🙃. Pages shows you content in a word processing format and Mail cannot because it is parked on a foundation of HTML syntax that is hidden from the user.
Strange-
In Pages, single-clicking on the link gives you an option to either edit or open the link. When copying and pasting into Mail, the formatting changes to the typical underlined blue style, but clicking does nothing. Only right-clicking brings up those options. Seems strange that Mail would behave differently than Pages...
Closer inspection of that pasted style in Mail would show that a right-click will present the following secondary options:
Like Pages, you simply cannot double-click the link to open it in a new browser window.
