I just discovered the Clip to Dynalist Chrome extension. It only clips the URL but works well. Iām actually using it with Vivaldi, which is my favourite browser. I also tried it with a gmail and it works fine including making the gmail subject part of the link string.
Far from the finished item, but handy never the less.
Thanks Erica, I couldnāt find any mention of it on the blog or through Google, but for anyone whoās looking for it this appears to be the official one:
You could create a keyboard shortcut at chrome://extensions/shortcuts and combine with Ctrl/Cmd + Enter using an automation tool like AutoHotkey or Keyboard Maestro.
This might get easier with the web extension API coming in Big Sur. It should be an easy port as the API is the same / similar. Perhaps you can look into it again.
Or even just an option when pasting urls to have them formatted with the link text format and leave the curser between the parenthesis so we can quickly type our own labels.
