Consider the title of this question -- it's very long, multiple lines regardless of the size of the browser window..
If I wish to connect to the question, if the cursor is positioned between the lines, there's no link; the cursor has to be positioned on one of the words in the title.
Seems to me that it should be possible to implement the page formatting so that clicking anywhere within the bounding box delineating the text of the title would result in a successful link.
This question (which was shown as a possible duplicate when I started to enter the present question) may be suffering from the same problem; however, that question isn't stated as precisely, has no answer, and has had no activity since October 2016.
