If you paste with a visual-selection, it will overwrite it, so it
sounds like you want to do something like

1) go yank the text you want to paste

2) anywhere between the opening "<" and the final ">" issue

vit

to select the "Link" text visually. You could also manually
select the text you want to replace, but Vim's text-objects make
this trivial.

3) press "p" to paste. If you want to paste the same text multiple
times, you also have it stored in the "0 register, so you can use

"0p

to ensure that you don't get the previous tag's text-content

-tim

:help v_p
:help v_it
:help quote0
