Feature: Paste-to-link
A lot of systems nowadays allow you to "paste over" some text with a link to hyperlink it.
Would be handy if the markdown editor for posts/comments would let you do that.
Ex: given this text:
This is cool!
If the user selects the word This and pastes https://www.google.com/, then the Editor would end up with:
[This] is cool!
[This]: https://www.google.com/
Possible implementation details:
- If the selection is quite long (say, over 10 characters?) prefer to use a
[numbered link like this][1]. - If there is already a link, re-use that one instead of creating a new one.
- Need to make sure we don't generate link refs with the same name.
I wrote some code that sort of creates link refs when you add an attachment. Not sure how much of that can be re-used, but should check.
