Hyperlink Type Filtering

You can choose which types of hyperlinks to remove:

• Both Internal and External : Removes all hyperlinks
• Internal Links Only: Only removes internal links like [Page](page.md), [Section](#heading)
• External Links Only: Only removes external links like [Site](https://example.com)

Hyperlink Whitelist

You can whitelist specific domains or URLs that should never be removed.

Note: Whitelist matching is case-insensitive and uses partial matching.

Wikilink Whitelist

You can whitelist specific wikilink paths that should never be removed.

Note: Wikilink whitelist uses exact matching (case-insensitive). The entire wikilink path must match the whitelist entry.

Blacklist Mode

Blacklist mode is the opposite of whitelist mode - it only removes links that match your specified blacklist, leaving all other links intact. This is useful when you want to remove specific unwanted links while preserving everything else.

• You can specify seperate lists for both hyperlink and wikilink blacklist

Note: Use the "Remove blacklisted links" commands to activate blacklist mode. This is the only place this option is available
