Hi,
Very often I need to copy and paste a few lines from a web page in Safari into another document.
Is there a way to copy a few lines, and also simultaneously copy their url, so that they can both be pasted together?
Thanks.

You can copy and paste the content, though it may not appear in your other document with the same style as presented on the web site.
As for the link (URL), you can right-click on web site links, and choose copy link (Safari), or copy link location (Firefox) from the contextual menu. Some links are unwieldy in length, and may wrap across several lines in your recipient document. The application that you use for that document may permit you to assign long link addresses to brief, descriptive text.
I don't know of any way to copy both at once. They are 2 distinct areas so accessing them both at once can't be done.
Thank you both for your replies.
It is disappointing.
I know in a Word document you can highlight two non- contiguous sections and copy them.
I was hoping to be able to do the same with Safari.
You are expecting a Web browser, and its content, to behave as though you are in Word with its text and object selection capabilities. A web browser is just a display of non-Word processing content, and is not based on any word processor functionality.
Expecting word processing paradigms to work in web browsers, will indeed, lead to disappointment.
