This plugin used to be called "Copy Image and URL context menu". It had link URL copying functionality (see 1.5.2 and prior), but that was removed when it was included in Obsidian 1.5.
It also used to have an Open PDF externally hover context menu for embedded PDFs, which was also removed when better Obsidian native functionality appeared (see 1.9.1).

Installation

You can install the plugin via the Community Plugins tab within the Obsidian app.
Here's the plugin on Obsidian's Community Plugins website.
You can install the plugin manually by copying a release to your .obsidian/plugins/copy-url-in-preview folder.
