Add PDF "Copy as quote" and "Copy link to selection" to documentation
There's a section here https://help.obsidian.md/Linking+notes+and+files/Embed+files#Embed+a+PDF+in+a+note on embedding and linking to a page in a specific PDF, but "Copy as quote" and "Copy link to selection" don't seem to be mentioned in the docs.
In a PDF you can select text, right-click, and see this menu:
The pasted link, e.g., [[commonMark-0.30.pdf#page=10&selection=16,0,16,20|commonMark-0.30, page 10]]
and
![[commonMark-0.30.pdf#page=10&selection=16,0,16,20|commonMark-0.30, page 10]]
will link to or embed that section of the PDF in a note.
As both a link and embed work here, I'm not sure the #Embed+a+PDF+in+a+note section is the best for this. Maybe a dedicated PDF help page with all the options that can be added to over time?
