## Description

Adds a context menu item called <em>Copy Link and Text</em>, which copies a link's URL and text to the clipboard as rich text or Markdown.

Multiple links in selected text will be copied as a list of links. If the selected text contains no links, the extension creates <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/d6a4100eb5ec6ada9e9b1113ccd39cc2328b878d718f6f2f4890d3715453b8bd/https%3A//developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/URI/Reference/Fragment/Text_fragments" rel="nofollow">text fragments</a> from selected text ranges.

For browser tabs, the link consists of the tab's URL and title.

Links can also be copied via the <a href="https://prod.outgoing.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/v1/1cf58fbc0dcd412d13a225f528c89ac2b9c40145a62995f1fc4a4dd177627b64/https%3A//support.mozilla.org/kb/manage-extension-shortcuts-firefox" rel="nofollow">configurable shortcut</a> <code>Alt+X</code>.
