bug#58527: 29.0.50; emacs cannot insert links from clipboard (macos)

[Sam Steingold]

Select text with a link on a web page.
Copy it to the clipboard.
Paste it into, say, a google doc - the link is preserved.
Paste it into Emacs (C-y) - only the text is inserted, not the link,
even in org model which can handle links.

moreover,

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(mapcar (lambda (cell)
          (gui-get-selection 'CLIPBOARD (car cell)))
        selection-converter-alist)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

returns identical strings, so, apparently, emacs cannot extract text
with links on Mac.

I am away from X, so I cannot check if the same problem is present
there.

Thank you.
