Link With Context

Copy the text of a link and its hyperlink as one.

What is Link With Context?

Link With Context is an innovative Chrome extension, designed to make link & text sharing more meaningful. It lets you copy either a webpage link with its descriptive text, or a snippet of text with its source URL attached. It's particularly useful when sharing links like Reddit posts that need context for full understanding. This extension also supports highlighting any text on a webpage for copying with its source URL. However, there is a character limit of 7500 for copied text to keep it manageable.

Summary

Analyze keywords

Link With Context lets you provide some context for the links you share. This is done in 1 of 2 ways:

PLEASE NOTE: After initially installing Link With Context, it will not work on any currently open tabs until they are refreshed.

Copying a link outright: Using Link With Context when you copy a link, what is actually copied is text in the form ' "text of link" - <link> '. Ultra useful for sharing reddit links that only make sense if the title is included as well! (and the inspiration for this extensions).

Highlighting text: Using Links With Context on highlighted text, what is actually coped is text in the form ' "highlighted text" - <url of current website> '. This will work with any text - you could highlight the whole page and still get a working Link With Context.

There is however a limit to how much text can be copied at a time, and therefore only the first 7500 characters of the highlighted/link text will be included.

Works, but the format is not very useful. It would be better if I could define my own format

"The tab you tried to copy from needs to be refreshed. This is only a problem when first using Link With Context. All new tabs will work correctly." Over and over and over. After refreshing, after restarting, after opening new tabs. Uninstalled.
