Decent Web Clipper with room for improvement. Wish we had the option to choose where the highlighted text and link goes within the single bullet. e.g. link in subtext (node) and highlighted text in bullet (note). The way it's right now, there's no options to customize or change that. With Workflowy being all about modularity, I hope that add more options here. Bonus points, if "Deep-Links" are possible, using a hashtag # after the link to jump to the highlighted text. As often seen in Google Answers, highlighting the text on the Site in Yellow.
