"Workaround to edit the url:

    Type partial url until suggestion appears in parentheses
    Press Tab
    Press Tab again
    Press Shift + Tab

When focus returns to the url/search bar the suggested link changes from the parenthesised "suggestion" to an ordinary text url

For a shorter variation, this appears to work as well:

    Type partial url until suggestion appears in parentheses
    Press Shift + Tab
    Press Tab
