Confused about default format #16

Is there any way to set the default format to use when right-clicking on a link? I know the toolbar widget lets me choose a default, but it looks like that default only applies to the toolbar widget, which since is not associated with any specific link on the page, I must presume this is to get a copy for the whole page itself. That's useful, but I would really like to set a default for the context menu too.

For example, one of my primary use cases is to copy the link name (only) for each purchased item showing in my Amazon orders page so that I can copy each into a transaction in GnuCash. It's only one extra click, but when done for 20 or 30 item purchases, it becomes more cumbersome than what I had with the CoLT extension.

I know we discussed this earlier, but I think I partly misunderstood what was being proposed. Is it possible for FormatLink to have two main entries in the context menu: "FormatLink with default format" (proposed) and "FormatLink ->" (that we have now)?
