[Feature Request] Copy formatted links to clipboard
add an entry to the context menu when right-clicking on a link
to enable the use of favourite formats for links too.
If appropriate, add an option in the settings
to enable or disable this feature.
You created a very good add-on with Copy Selected Tabs to Clipboard
and I have several copy formats in use with it 👍

It looks interesting but beyond the scope of this project, and it looks hard to make the feature compatible to both tabs and links - links don't have "description" and some other information.
If you seriously require the feature, you should fork this project for the feature.

The user might select any text and this text is used as the description for the link 🤔
Format Link is an firefox addon that uses a selected text for a link
I meant that the "description" is a metadata provided by the author of the webpage (like <meta name="description" content="...">.) Templates shared between tabs and links will make things complicated.

Yes, that is the answer. I recommend you to use the addon for in-page links together with this - basically I recommend Firefox users (and addon developers) to use/develop feature-oriented addons instead of all-in-one type addons. Mixing different context features blurs the concept and it will shorten project lifetime unwantedly.

This is a profound argumentation and I think you can close this issue now ✅
The largest my concern about this feature was: how should we manage formats for tabs and links. We had to define similar templates for tab and link, so I thought that it will painful for users.
And here is a good news. I recently introduced a new placeholder %ANY(value1, value2, ...)% which will be filled with the first effective value. With this feature we can define a format supporting both cases: tab and link, so adding new functionality to copy links with a format became easier.
If you write a patch to support context menu commands on links, I'll merge it.
