Rich Link Resolver

Rich Link Resolver is an Obsidian plugin that turns a pasted or selected URL into a markdown rich link using the page title and favicon.

Example output:

[![](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/almeidazs/rich-link-obsidian/HEAD/<app://local-favicon.png>) Example Domain](<https://example.com>)

Features

  • Automatically resolves a pasted URL when the clipboard contains a single URL.
  • Resolves the selected URL or the URL under the cursor through a command or context menu action.
  • Shows an inline Loading URL... placeholder while metadata is being fetched.
  • Resizes favicons to a stable 16x16 local cache so note layout does not break.
  • Falls back to a plain markdown link if a favicon cannot be downloaded or resized.
