Summary

The extension puts text hyperlinked to the current URL on the clipboard. By default, the hyperlinked text is the page title. If there is text selected on the current page, the extension uses it as the hyperlinked text. After clicking the extension's icon, the user can paste the hyperlinked text into any email or document.

Can you add "copy only page url" option?
by Deniz Kocatepe, 2021-09-18

Just what I was looking for and does that: Copy the URL/Title combination to clipboard. When you paste it in the Editor (e.g Word, Excel) you'll get a Hyperlink with the Titel as text and the URL as the link.
