WEB-CLIPPER: Clipped articles don't retain the source URL as metadata #7

Open rubyjedi opened 1 year ago

No. Seriously. WTAF?

If I'm going to clip a section of a web page, or the entire page, it's going to be the "essential" parts that I want to save, or teaser-text to get me to want to revisit the original article.

Web clipper has no means of passing along Metadata (aside from tags), such that the origin URL is kept alongside the clipping.

As a workaround (for now), it looks like I'll need to double-clip articles -- once to get the origin URL, and again to get the actual content I'm interested in clipping for archives... and then hand-edit the two to merge them together somehow.

For that matter, though.. why isn't there a user-accessible/editable metadata popup for notes/todos/clippings?
