Unless the remote file is mounted locally through GVFS.

I would want the URI, and if I right-click that URI in Evolution and
select Copy Link Location or I open the URI in a web browser and then
highlight and hit Ctrl+C in the location bar, it gets copied to the
clipboard as text/plain and pastes correctly in the composer.

So the question is how are you guys copying the URI text that it's
winding up in the clipboard as text/uri-list?
