On Mint Cinnamon, alt+clicking apparently drags the current window. Meh; why, given tiling (whether manually with Super+Arrow, automatically with cortile, etc.)?

On Windows, alt+clicking directly on links lets you nullify the link-following so you can highlight the link text to then copy. This is a far more useful feature to me. Is there any way to change Cinnamon to do this?

Solution: Just disable the feature in the "Windows" settings' Behavior tab!

https://superuser.com/questions/566528/setting-super-l-as-movement-key-in-linux-mint-to-free-up-alt says "Menu >> Preferences >> System Settings >> Windows >> Behavior and is called Special key to move and resize windows", might be outdated, but give that a try?

Interesting, okay, thanks, that solves the first half. I can't imagine if it's possible to replicate Windows' functionality with link-ignoring, though... ... everything! Huh, apparently that was simply blocking the native behavior. Thanks!

Aw yeah!
