Copy as Link: A simple Chrome extension that copies the selected text as a link to the current page's URL

Show empathy for your readers(or yourself) by always sharing a link with a readable title, instead of a plain https://....

That's why I created Copy as Link.

Whether you're:

  • Collecting research materials
  • Sharing interesting quotes with colleagues
  • Building a knowledge base
  • Creating documentation with references

This extension seamlessly integrates into your browsing experience, making link creation as natural as highlighting text.

The implementation is straightforward, built with Plasmo and React. Feel free to check out the source code if you're interested.
