Although I have mentioned this in other posts, I never formally requested this ability to copy the text from the backlinks and search results. Along with this, I think it might be nice if the backlinks and search results had a bit more text from the notes included. I know it is probably not feasible to totally expand all notes, but a couple more lines would help. I have been in the habit of screen snipping the backlinks list one screens worth at a time, then doing text recognition and appending brackets in order to get a functioning list of links, which is helpful in my workflow. It might be nice to have this option of both copying the list in plain text and copying it as a list of links. Thanks. Still loving Obsidian. ---
