Copy link doesn't fetch title (on Windows)

Windows XP

Chrome 17

Reason: there is no info.selectionText because it does not select the text when right-clicking on a link.

When I right click on a link without selecting it, it gives me no title. [(No Title)](https://github.com/chitsaou/copy-as-markdown) Seems to be the same issue, but I'm using linux.

I'm sure there's an Chrome API which you can get this info. For example, right click on a link and Block element from ublock origin will highlight the text.

Thanks @JayXon, I will take a look at the API. It's been 4 years since this issue was opened, so I believe there are some API changes that can solve this bug!

#55 does not solve this issue.

How about getting the text children out of the DOM when a link has no title attribute?

Anyway, :+1: for the tip with selecting the text 1st.

Won’t be supported unless Chrome provides an API on Windows.

If you could check the api document for me it’d be appreciated.

Otherwise please open a feature request to Chromium project.

Thank you for your reply. I think it is better to close this issue then the others will know this conclusion.

Could you remove this function in context menu on Windows?

Still exists on Linux Ubuntu Kubuntu 18.10 Chromium 72.0.3626.96. And doesn't work in Windows. [(No Title)](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/copy-as-markdown/fkeaekngjflipcockcnpobkpbbfbhmdn?hl=en) Does seem to work on tabs.

Anyone have an alternative?

Edit: workaround is to highlight/select text before right clicking. Then grabs the text. Firefox CUTC extension was much easier.

Finally found it for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/copy-url-to-clipboard/miancenhdlkbmjmhlginhaaepbdnlllc/related?hl=en
