Why would you want to?

A simple example. You having a conversation with somebody on your mobile phone. They ask you for some information like the telephone number of a friend or whatever. You have that information in your phone. But how to get it without hanging up and calling them back

Another example. You're reading something on a webpage , And you want something that's written on that web page to be include it in an email that you are writing, or you want to put a link to that web page in an email
