A plugin to build and open links in new tabs quickly
Link Builder Extension
Instructions:
1. Add your commonly used URL prefix (eg. \"http://m.mlb.com/player/\")
2. Select text on a webpage to build a new URL (eg. \"605141\")
3. After selecting the text, right click and select the prefix
4. You'll see the newly constructed URL open in a new tab (eg. \"http://m.mlb.com/player/605141\")
Extra:
1. If you select text that has whitespaces, you can open multiple tabs at once (eg. \"605141 660271\")
2. Adding a blank URL prefix will enable you to open new tabs without any prefixes. This may come in handy if you select a couple of URLs and want to open all of them in separate tabs in one click.
3. Use \"{}\" as a placeholder. If a url contains \"{}\", the \"{}\" portion will be replaced instead of the text being appended to the end
