Just to follow up
- At the moment the permalink to a tiddler copies the encoded url, if you paste this anywhere else you keep the encoded link. - Click and it works however the pretty title is lost or non existent. - This copy only ever captures the encoded URL - If however you make the tiddler titles into links and copy that using select and copy, you can past this almost anywhere, email, GG, word and other Rich text environments - In some only the pretty link is pasted (not URL) - *In many the link is pasted and is displayed behind the original pretty link (this is the** most desirable)* - In some including plain text fields eg tiddler text fields only the encoded url is pasted What I would like; - The existing permalink to do the equivalent of highlight and copy - Provide the ability to drop/paste such links from the clipboard into tiddlywiki and capture both the link and pretty title - Ideally directly and to the [[prettylink||urllink]] form required by Tiddlywiki - Alternatively as a HTML a record <a href="urllink">prettylink</a> - What I would like less - If necessary a mechanism to drop/paste into an intermediate mechanism - Another form of the permalink but with the desired copy behaviour.
