Add-on summary

Analyze keywords

This extension is your comprehensive solution for copying links... or it will be one day as its feature set expands. Ideally we'll get some of this functionality built in to Firefox in the future, but for now this extension serves as a playground.

The Flink address bar button simply copies the URL to the clipboard as is. If you right click, you'll see this option repeated, and then you'll also see up to three additional options:

Copy Title: The page title is used for the label for the link. This looks for the OpenGraph title on the page if there is one, and if there isn't one it uses the HTML title of the page.

Copy Flink: This option is offered only for specific sites where I've authored support for extracting elements from the page.

➡️ Google Docs use the document name: "Product Change Proposal April 2025" ➡️ Jira Tickets use the key as a link, followed by the title in text: "TR-1234": Complete product specification and get review ➡️ Bugzilla bugs use the ID as the link, followed by the title in text: "1234567": Firefox crashes when playing multiple videos in the same tab ➡️ Wikipedia Articles use the article name: "Pulitzer Prize"

Copy Selection Link: If there is selected text in the page, that selected text is used as the label for the link.
