}<p>Lorem ipsum, dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Laborum, nam!</p>
<a role="button" id="a" onclick="GetSelectedText()">a element</a>
<button type="button" id="button" onclick="GetSelectedText()">Button</button>You can achieve this by adding an event to your a tag this way.
function GetSelectedText(){
selectedText = getSelection().toString();
console.log(selectedText);
}
document.getElementById("a").addEventListener("mousedown", function(event) {
event.stopImmediatePropagation();
event.preventDefault();
});<p>Lorem ipsum, dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Laborum, nam!</p>

<button type="button" id="button" onclick="GetSelectedText()">Button</button>Collected from the Internet
