Hold down the fn and ctrl keys (shd be bottom left 2 on keyboard) and then left click mouse.
Also very useful is Shift-cmd-4 which gives you cross hairs.You then drag it open with mouse and release to take a screen shot of selected area.
Or Shift-cmd-3 takes screenshot of entire desktop
just right click on link>copy link

you have if it's a mac bought in the last few years.
it's not a physical button, you just click with the right side of the mouse, it brings up context menu, just like ctrl+left click
note: left finger must not be touching the mouse

Steve Jobs has a thing about buttons - he doesn't like them.
I'm amazed he allowed them on Apple keyboards.
Seriously ....... ditch the apple mouse for another bluetooth type. It's the worst piece of Apple "form over function" ever.

work great apart from the scroll ball thing on top clogging once in a while. i have tried my old favourite MS intellimouse, but it's just so "unapple" it offends my sensibilities

I've had good success with a lint free paper towel and monitor cleaning fluid to rub into the top, then turn it upside down and roll it about fairly vigourously in all directions on another dry one.
Also, less pies at the desk seems to stop it going wonky in the first place. I think it picks up fat/butter/<whatever> and stops tracking in one direction usually.
3 BT ones in use and haven't had them go bad since I broke the food at the computer habit.
