How to capture the url in message such as this:
Mousing over the link shows the URL in echo area but there seems no
way to copy it. It just disappears if you try to mouse to it.

<TAB> to get to the url, and "w" to copy it.
That sure looks like spam!

From the summary mode you donʼt need to TAB, 'w' will pop up a buffer
containing the links it finds in the selected article.

Would you please tell us what 'w' is bound to for you? My gnus is so
customised that I can never depend on bindings being what others
have. For me, 'w' is bound to gnus-article-fill-long-lines...
Thank you,

I have 'W w' burned into my muscle memory :-)
w runs the command gnus-summary-browse-url (found in
gnus-summary-mode-map), which is an interactive compiled Lisp function
in `gnus-sum.el'.
It is bound to w, A w.
(gnus-summary-browse-url &optional EXTERNAL)
Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 27.1.
Scan the current article body for links, and offer to browse them.
Links are opened using `browse-url' unless a prefix argument is
given: Then `browse-url-secondary-browser-function' is used instead.
If only one link is found, browse that directly, otherwise use
completion to select a link. The first link marked in the
article text with `gnus-collect-urls-primary-text' is the
default.

Oh, I figured he actually wanted to copy it for some reason.

Harry Responds:
That is not the behavior I see and far as I know I have no trick
changes in cmd sequences.
What I see when I press `w' on that message is summary buffer is that
it actually activates the URL and calls the web page.

Right you are ... thanks again

Yes, as the docs state (see the last paragraph):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
w runs the command gnus-summary-browse-url (found in gnus-summary-mode-map),
which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in ‘gnus-sum.el’.
It is bound to w, A w.

Indeed, I misunderstood what you were asking for. Of course if you
browse such an url using eww (and honestly, who doesnʼt?), then you
can use 'w' in the *eww buffer to copy the url :-)

Thanks to all posters.
And I found that if one presses `w' on that message from Summary
buffer it actually activates the URL.
I understanding you were saying to press `w' from Article mode. And
that truly does capture the url. Just what I was after, thx.
Eric, yes it is spam, this link below:

Can't tell what it tries to do
