〽️🔔 Deep copy of selection from tiddler into tiddler in edit mode

[Cd.K]

I'm going to copy the fist text line of the second tiddler (view/rendered mode) into the first tiddler in edit mode:

Result:

I expect a complete copy in the sense of a WikiText object or a message if deep or shallow copying is desired.

Could we put this another way? Your would like to copy the WikiText for the link rather than the rendered link text?

The short answer is no, the full answer is yes, Many ways.

Some quick points

• Edit the tiddler and copy the link wikitext is the current method.
• Remember such links can be the result of a list so the actual wiki text link never exists until it is rendered as html (There may not be any deep content to copy)
• There are browser extensions that allow you to copy a link as html and you can paste it into your destination tiddler eg FireFox "Text Linky Tool".

• Perhaps we could make one that respects TiddlyWiki Text  eg [[5 Markdown Tricks for GitHub e.g. colored text|https://grantwinney.com/cool-markdown-tricks-for-github/]]
• You can use the browser inspect on a link (Inspect element) and copy the "outer HTML" and past it into your tiddler and elsewhere (FireFox)

• If you have advanced knowledge you could craft a copy to clipboard button that contains the wiki text, even build it into a macro.
• You could get really fancy and extract links from a tiddler and display them in a footnote including a copy to clipboard of that links wiki text (or html)

Another firefox plugin copies this to the clipboard
