Please explain your "typeable" concern. I've been using IRC since the dawn of time and I could always copy and paste. Not to mention that links are recognized and you can click them.

Copy and paste didn't work too well on serial terminals. How far back was this 'dawn of time'?
Mid nineties.
I'm going to hazard a guess that you're a Windows or Mac user.
Well you can paste into irssi too.
Middle-click much?
i̶r̶s̶s̶i̶, or rather the terminal it's running in according to the person replying my comment, lets you click on links to open a browser too.
That's the terminal, not irssi.
