So, I just got my copy of iWork, and I decided I'd give Pages a shot at this. I called up an article, went to the "Print Friendly Version," and copied the text and images into a blank document. Not only did it preserve the text formatting, with a little image placement tweaking, but the hyperlinks were still present and functional! Where TextEdit just treated them as styled text, and the same for PDF export, Pages correctly recognized them as hyperlinks, and kept them intact. Now, how cool is that?
[robg adds: In 10.3 at least, TextEdit can retain hyperlinks in pasted text -- just make sure the document is set to RTF and not plain text. Still, this is an interesting use for Pages, as it gives you more control over the image placement of the page.]
