Copy as Rich URL

Copy as Rich URL

Obsidian plugin that copies the current note as a rich hyperlink (title + obsidian:// URL) to the system clipboard. When you paste into a rich-text editor like FuseBase, Notion, Confluence, Slack, or Gmail, it becomes a single clickable link with the note's title as anchor text.

Why

Obsidian's built-in "Copy Obsidian URL" only puts the raw URL on the clipboard. If you paste that into FuseBase, it shows the ugly obsidian://... string. This plugin writes both text/html (with a proper <a> tag) and text/plain to the clipboard, so rich-text editors render a clean clickable link.

Usage

1. Open the note you want to link to.
2. Click the 🔗 Copy as Rich URL icon in the left ribbon, or run the command palette command Copy as Rich URL: Copy current note as rich URL, or bind a hotkey.
3. Paste anywhere — rich-text editors get a hyperlink, plain-text editors get title\nURL.
