This was great, but it seems like at some point the copied link(s) started having a markdown bullet prepended. I don't see any way to change this. A setting to not add the bullet would be welcome!

Suggestion: When right-clicking on a hyperlink in a webpage, it would be helpful to be able to copy both the link and the link title at the same time, similar to how we can copy the link title when copying a tab's link. Currently, only the link itself can be copied, and the title cannot be copied.
