[Feature Request] Copy as footnote #92

Closed cruscio closed 2 months ago

cruscio commented 3 years ago

Summary

Random thought - it'd be nice to have a menu option to copy a footnote format (e.g. Hacker News style) I often paste the output of selected tabs link somewhere (usually a list of search results to reference in an instruction or a request) and manually copy/convert the markdown list into something like this:

[...] replace that copy in the example with some lorum ipsum [1][2][3]

[...]

It'd be nice to have basically the same as the [All|Selected] tabs link options, with a single line at the top containing a numbered set of links in brackets or braces or some such, to match the generated list. Then you could paste the whole thing at the bottom of a communication and cut/paste the numbered list into the appropriate anchor location within the written content above.

Hi, in version 3.1.0, custom format is introduced. Please try it out!

For your reference, here is an example template for reference links commonly used on Hacker News:
