This is why I started, years ago, to provide the long web addresses in footnotes or Endnotes so that I optimized the accessibility of the content.

While reading the main body text, Alt Text or contextual links are used, but I also add Footnotes or Endnotes with the long web addresses in case someone wants or needs to print the document and needs to know the web address in a discussion or some other scenario.

Not all documents are suited to this solution. For those that are, it is a good solution and only takes a few seconds to implement while writing the document.
