Sure. Depending on your web browser, there are plugins to populate the clipboard with a link formatted according to a template variously as plain text, markdown, html, media-wiki, or (with configuration) org-mode. I use chrome and am happy with "Create Link" https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/create-link/gcmghdmnkfdbncmnmlkkglmnnhagajbm?hl=en-US Firefox similarly has Make Link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/make-link/ ~Malcolm > > Thanks! > -pd
