Copy URL when right-clicking on a link in Preview mode

Obsidian 0.10.8, macOS 11.1

  • In Edit mode, you can right click on the URL portion between ()s and choose Copy url:
    image

  • In Preview mode, right clicking on that link only gives a single option: Copy
    image
    …Which just places the text “google” on the clipboard:

So the feature request is for the Copy URL function to appear on the right-click menu for links in Preview mode as well.

I made a plugin for this, now up on community plugins.
The devs also said this is a functionality they’ll add into the app eventually.

If anyone dares, I forked @NomarCub’s great plugin and added a Copy image to clipboard function to it. It’s a hack for sure, but a convenient one. Very much open to someone telling me the correct way to implement this (since surely this ain’t it!)

Very frustrating to not have any context menu for images.

This feature request from me also ask for context menu for internal embeds: [Small FR] Show context menu for internal embeds (markdown and images)
