Thank you both for looking into this.
I did try the “Paste and Match Style” and this did not change the result. While the pasted link IS clickable as an anchor, it does not show the full URL link and when you click “Copy Link” it only copies the anchor, not the URL link.
Drew, as a web designer for many years I understand anchors versus URL links. If you are only putting URL links in Notes, that’s a decision you’ve made as a developer, and perhaps that is a good thing for the majority of people that want “clickable” links in their notes. However, this absolutely does me no good as. developer. I realize that maybe we’re not your target market, but because we DO use this functionality so much, we’d have to choose to keep these URL links in something else other than Agenda. Right now they are in either Excel (for one site) and Apple Notes for the remainder of sites we do.
The proper HTML has to be filled it with the actual verbatim URL link because it’s going into an a href tag. When we work on web pages, with these links they have to be copied with the full URL, not a shortened version. The Copy Link functionality would be completely acceptable, as that’s what we normally use when copying from the source location (Excel or Apple Notes).
Perhaps a compromise here, would be to have Edit -> Paste Full URL Link and an Edit->Copy Full URL Link or something like that on the right-click dialog. I thought of making it a system preference, but there are times you DO want just the clickable anchor to be displayed and maybe even make that the default.
For the record, Apple Notes and Bear both support the full URL with Copy Link capability. I only bring that up because part of your target audience for your product will be those coming from Evernote, Apple Notes and other, similar products and, like me, they would be used to that functionality.
