Link Extractor

Scan any note for external links and copy them as a list — great for building bibliographies, reference lists, or sharing resources.

Features

• Extracts all external (http/https) links from the active note
• Detects markdown links [text](url), bare URLs, and angle-bracket links <url>
• Deduplicates automatically
• Four output formats:
  • Plain URLs — one per line
  • Bullet List — - https://...
  • Numbered List — 1. https://...
  • Markdown Links — - [url](url)
• One-click Copy to Clipboard

Usage

1. Open any note
2. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+P / Cmd+P)
3. Run "Extract External Links from Note"

5. Paste into another note, a bibliography generator, a spreadsheet — wherever you need it
