Add the ability to copy block as alias/embed, to show the text of the block in edit mode

From Jackal on Discord:

What if the plugin automatically inserted the contents of a block as a piped link in the block embed. This way we get the best of both worlds, legibility in editor mode and nice block embeds in preview mode.

In my use case it means most of the time I can just stay in editor mode and still see all my actions for the day

But then when I need to check a checkbox switch to preview mode and click

Might need to limit the length of a block that gets inserted, to prevent huge internal links from being created, but I think this would work really well for small task-style block embeds

Note that either block aliases or markdown links would work, so providing the option for both would probably be nice:

I concur with providing the option for both. Now that I know markdown links work for this too, I'd be tempted to go with markdown since it brings the content of the block to the front of the link.
