Cliplink a URL from region

Any more thoughts on this? Would find it very handy sometimes - files with existing URLs, etc.

Thanks! Bruce

@bdillahu, honestly, I don't really remember what exactly I meant by this issue. :)

Could you please elaborate on your use-case? Like what exactly you want to achieve and in how many steps? If it's easy to implement I may do that in the nearest future.

What I have is a URL in text already in a file (org file in my case, but whatever) - would like to select it somehow and call org-cliplink and have it converted into the page title... i.e. not have to copy it into the clipboard for org-cliplink to act on it.

I'm new to emacs, so it may be that's I'm just missing a really easy way of doing that which already exists...

@bdillahu got it! Makes sense. Shouldn't be too difficult to implement. I'll try to find some spare time on the weekend, but cannot promise anything. Thanks!
