Michael Johnson (ID: 000000ec89300d5b) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 01/18/2023 Very simple tool that helps save a few clicks when embedding links in text (E.g., in Outlook to reference external websites). Just select the text on the webpage that you want to have the link embedded, like the title of an article, then click the "Copy As Hyperlink" button (top-right of your browser where the other Chrome extensions are located). Upon pasting, the copied text will be hyperlinked with the URL from the webpage the text was on. Definitely recommend!

Asher Y (ID: 0000007de008185d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 07/30/2021 This extension does copy the text with link. You will find it when you paste to a rich text editor. If you paste it on a plain text editor, you will only get the selected text. It's pretty reasonable
